    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!!!

    The location was fantastic, right by the ferry, making it convenient for exploration. Staff were warm and welcoming, particularly Suzanne, who treated our dog with special care. The seafood was fresh and delightful, although I did find some noise from other guests disturbing at times.

    great atmosphere but some small room for improvement

    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.

    The room felt slightly cramped with our three springers.

    cozy room
    excellent seafood
    limited visibility

    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.
