The staff was welcoming. The hotel room was very basic. No air conditioning though so we had to open the windows. Very noisy outside until about 1:30 am. Bed was a full size so my husband and I had to cozy up. A little too small for us and we are not big people. The location was great. I don’t think it was worth the price.

Great place to stay!

This is a great place to stay. It's very clean, has spacious rooms, very comfortable bed, and very friendly, kind, and helpful staff. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and plentiful. You can tell it's a family owned business as they take great pride in the quality of their business and the services they provide. We'd happily stay there again and recommend it to others!

Great location if it wasn’t right on a main road coming/going from town. It was noisy during the day but not so much at night. We had a nice big room which unfortunately was right at ground level so sidewalk and road noise was prominent as it was just a couple of meters away. ***this was probably our error in not reading the SMALL print saying it was a ‘street view’ room. The proprietor says it can’t control what Expedia displays about their property, so perhaps it is Expedia’s fault. The staff was extremely nice and everything else was great.

Unique to the property was skeleton key to open and lock your room. Was great walkability to the whole town including pubs for dinner, fresh produce stores and pharmacy, not to mention a couple of different off licenses. Would recommend The Blue Haven for dinner - the seafood chowder was the best I've ever had. The bed was pretty firm though so we both woke up sore. Breakfast tables weren't necessarily set-up to accommodate all the guests so we happily invited an American couple to join us. Was great to hear about their tours and activities. Parking was on the street in front of the hotel. Would've done a harbour boat tour if we'd had more time.
