We had great stay during low season with amazing staff. Unfortunately due to mother nature we had to leave the island 1 day early ... Our room was held incase no ferry was available . Great real fire to sit around and have a drink in the bar .

Bedding and linen were crisp and clean. The room itself was clean but smelt a little musty and there was evidence of previous water damage. Overhead light was partially burnt out. The half bottle of wine and cookies was a nice touch. The cable to the extractor fan for the bathroom was hanging down from the receptacle and could pose a danger. Overall the room felt tired and in need of an upgrade. It should really be advertised as a motel rather than a hotel.

Location: The property is located centrally. This provides relatively easy driving to the main island sites and the ferry. Not walkable but that is the same for almost everywhere on the island. Staff: Wonderful.and helpful. Room: We had a water view room that had a ground level patio which we took advantage of every eveing. The room is a little dated and could use with updating. That being said it was good for a couple night stay and the the staff made up for this piece. Property: It has a pool, restaurant and pub. This made eating very easy as there are not a lot of options on the island. Overall It is what i expected. Enjoyed the stay at the property and the visit to the island.
