satisfactory stay
log firegarden viewworn pathincomplete dominoes
the staff was eager to assist with any requests. the room had both a sea view and a garden view. it was lovely. real log fire was in the bar seating area. the fire created a very cosy atmosphere.
the gravel path up to the entrance was worn. this caused mud to be brought into the porch. the games room needed refreshing. i found incomplete dominoes sets in the games room.

charming island getaway
helpful stafffantastic dinnermuddy path
after a ferry cancellation, i needed accommodation quickly and i was so glad to find this place. the staff was helpful and dinner was fantastic (the seafood was so fresh!). the room was cute, the shower pressure was amazing and i would definitely stay again.
The gravel path up to the entrance needed some attention. I tracked mud into the porch. it's a small thing, but important to maintain a good first impression.
