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.

Perfectly acceptable but there's no way this is a 4-star hotel, I would give it at 3. I would stay further west on the island if I were to go again, most of the attractions are quite a drive away.

The Restriction on eating in the restaurant was limiting as my husband and I like to share an entree and main meal but this was not permitted as we each had to order a seperate main meal which I found difficult to understand how a restaurant can tell you how you have to order.

no hot water for the shower. very basic configuration. The room I booked was supposed to have a "bay view" but most of the view was covered by trees. There is not much of a view for charging extra.
