The location was excellent, right next to the ferry terminal and Penneshaw Pub, which is a great spot for a meal. The place was clean, and the room was spacious. Having access to laundry and drying facilities at no extra charge was a big bonus. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay!

    “Not clear about having to walk up stairs carrying luggage and walking up steep hill with luggage from ferry. I am 73 and have problems with breathing, arthritis and joint problems so was not happy. Then on arrival at 10:30 am could not access room after being up at 5 am to get there and no breakfast . Had to walk to a cafe to get something to eat.”
