I loved the hotel's fantastic location right across from the harbor, making it easy to explore the local area and hop on ferries to the outer islands. The cleanliness was impressive, and I appreciated the spacious room with a fully fitted kitchen. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent, especially the seafood platter.

The breakfast was delightful, offering a great start to our day, and we loved the hotel's convenient location, which allowed us to easily explore most of the town center on foot.

The location was perfect, being just a short stroll from the main attractions and offering convenient parking right out front. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food at the restaurant, particularly the seafood platter and fish and chips; they were truly memorable!
