Convenient location to the ferry. We arrived late and they were very accommodating. The room was large, the beds comfortable but low water pressure when trying to shower. But we’d stay again just because of the location.

The start was adequate. Although there are cottages, we stayed in a motel room. The room was adequately clean, the bed decent, the bathroom clean. It was fair value for what we paid, and we might consider staying again.
