The staff are very genuine.
We had great stay during low season with amazing staff. Unfortunately due to mother nature we had to leave the island 1 day early ... Our room was held incase no ferry was available .
Great real fire to sit around and have a drink in the bar .

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.

Across the street from the ocean. Clean and quiet room. Laundry facility on the property . Nice breakfasts. The staff was great.
You need a car to get around.

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.
