Clean and spacious. The only downside is the shower is rather small. I m not a big guy only 158 lbs even I found it small. You can imagine a guy 220 lbs... Other than that, all are good. With small kitchen, kettle etc.

Comfortable room (ambience 'slightly dated/well used'), containing kitchenette and all the gadgets we wanted. The wooden upstairs walkway to our room seemed slightly shaky but in reality wasn't a problem. The location is excellent, at the heart of the town and close to the ferry pier.

Property was in a great location. The area was quiet. Affordable, yet spacious. We were able to make some of our own meals with the use of the fridge, stove and microwave that were provided. Minor concerns: lightbulb missing in the storage off the bathroom, a few carpet stains, the hot water tap needs to be locked in place as it turns when you turn it on.

The property was very clean, but was looking tired. We paid extra for an upgraded room but couldn’t see any upgrade really. Our only communication with the staff was checking in and checking out, and that was fine.
