Very friendly owners. Exceptional breakfast, including gluten free options. Very comfortable. There is a guest lounge although we didnt use it. The children of Lir bedroom sleeps 3. We were two adult friends and the layout gave us each a degree of privacy. We hope to stay again and would certainly recommend this place. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Amazing place to stay

Our first time at Glass Island Boutique & it was amazing. Accommodation was a very high standard for furnishings, maintenance & cleaniness. Sharon was most welcoming & food was exceptional quality & was keen to accomodate my wife's gluten intolerance. Location was perfect for the harbour & for the local restaurants/bars. Would highly recommend & will book again.

I wish I could give this place 50 stars. It’s such a cozy and amazing spot. My only regret is I stayed for one night instead of several! Thank you so much for having me. I will be having dreams of how nice the room was and how delicious the smoked salmon bagel was for breakfast.

Beautiful property (rooms, breakfast area). Staff were very pleasant and attentive. Breakfast was delicious. A small bit of construction was going on that I’m sure will be complete shortly (stayed April 2025). Only real comment is the bed was described as king size but was more queen size (which could be a North America vs Europe thing).
