9.6/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)
It was a pleasure to stay with Shona this week. Very friendly and prompt communication. Upon arrival was a friendly welcome and tour of the property which was modernly styled, very spacious, and immaculate. The large kitchen has no shortage of storage, fridge/freezer space, very large oven, hobs, pans, crockery, utensils etc. and spacious dining area for 8, couldn't ask for more!!! Add to that an ideal location which is right next to the ferry port (first house on the left when leaving the ferry terminal) and just opposite the post office/local store right at the heart of the village. There is also plenty of parking outside / nearby and is nice and easy to get to all of the mainland both by car and bus (stop is just outside). Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Shona.

our room was in a separate building from the main hotel, but the room was excellent, clean, comfortable and well maintained. We had breakfast in the main hotel, and also dined there one evening. The food was well cooked and tasty

Grateful for the clean, tastefully decorated room in a great location (downtown waterfront). It's an older building so it can be a bit noisy - particularly as the patrons in other rooms come in for the evening and get going in the morning.

"The hotel had been recently renovated and the design features were beautiful. It was a less than 5 minute walk from the bus station. It was a 2 minute walk to the centre of town. My sister and I would definetly recommend it to anyone. In fact we did tell people we met about it"
