Larry

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Clean but basic - why do so many hotels not have provision for more than a single suitcase? Rather isolated from the rest of the town - a drive or minimum 20 minute walk to get anywhere. A good breakfast. We have used it several times because it is very convenient for the ferry port which is less than 15 minutes drive away. Some ferries depart early or arrive late and I don't want a long drive very early or late.
