Scenic views of surrounding islands, Outstanding seafood cuisine, Historical charm of the building
Limited parking space made it challenging to find a spot!!! Small room sizes felt cramped and lacked sufficient storage!!! Inconsistent temperature regulation in showers led to discomfort, which is quite bothersome during a stay!!!

Suzanne created a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our stay feel special. The breakfast options, especially the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, were delightful.

Had a cozy stay with a delightful bed and plenty of extras—like a bathroom big enough to dance in! The location was fab, just a hop from the ferry, and the seafood? Fresh and fabulous!
But goodness, getting my car out of the parking was like playing hide and seek in a maze—visibility issues galore! Maybe they should consider a 'reverse driving skills' class.
