    Comfortable stay with a great breakfast

    I recently enjoyed a five-night stay in a spacious room with a well-appointed bathroom. The breakfasts were absolutely delightful, with a range of options provided based on our preferences, including gluten-free choices. The host was very accommodating, making sure all our needs were met during our stay.

    shallow breakfast
    poor directions

    the location was charming, yet difficult to find on Google maps. The breakfast was nothing to rave about, considering I had to settle for a mediocre sandwich and a banana I detest. I expected a complimentary gesture for my trouble but alas, no such luck. It’s almost like they’ve forgotten their guests entirely.

    cozy accommodations
    parking inconvenience
    poor breakfast options

    Cozy accommodations with a lovely ambience.

    We faced difficulties with the parking situation, as we were instructed to move our car after check-in, which was especially inconvenient after a long journey. our early ferry departure meant we could not enjoy breakfast at a normal hour, and the picnic bag provided was lackluster. The sandwich felt more suitable for a picnic rather than an overnight stay, and the banana was a poor choice since neither of us preferred it.

    tight space

    Loved the modern vibe, cozy beds, and the big walk-in shower. Breakfast options were top-notch! Just a bit tight with three adults in the room.

    accommodating hostess
    great breakfast
    short walk
    inconvenient parking

    Had a blast with friends! We visited the historical sites and enjoyed some stunning nature spots. Stacey was super accommodating, even catering to my gluten-free diet. The breakfast was great, and the location was just a short walk to the center. Keep in mind to book restaurant tables in advance!

    We faced issues with parking. Upon arrival, we were told to move our car, which was inconvenient after a long journey. It dampened our first impression a bit, but overall, we enjoyed our stay.

    Stacey was super friendly and the breakfast was top-notch, but finding the place was a bit of a mission! Lovely quiet spot, though!

    great place for a group stay

    The rooms were spacious and well equipped. Breakfast options were plentiful and delicious, meeting all dietary preferences. We appreciated having the breakfast room to ourselves, making it feel intimate and relaxed.

    But parking can be a bit tricky. we had to move our car after check-in, which was inconvenient.
