Amazing Stay Experience!

The staff really were so kind and considerate during my time at the hotel, and I enjoyed it a lot. They could not do enough for me! The hotel had great accessibility from the main road, a great bonus as I was traveling. Staff were wonderful and accommodating, very kind.

I did pay for bed and breakfast, but I had to leave early to catch the ferry home after a funeral. The hotel knew my situation! It would have been great to have fruit in the morning, or juice, or even a small discount because of the circumstances.
