If you want an old school hotel and hospitality experience, look no further. The rooms are basic but quite large, and immaculately clean. The bathroom is a decent size as well with enough room in the shower and sink to comfortably bathe and wash. The hotel was very quiet, and the breakfast in the morning was plentiful and delicious. The breakfast buffet included cooked eggs, bread, pastries, cereal, pancakes, etc. It was a great start to our day. I will definitely stay here again!

Great location for puffin viewing in nesting season! Very helpful, friendly staff. Personal service. Fresh, healthy food choices. Clean, comfortable rooms. Located in an interesting small community. We are grateful that the owners were able to help us out when our booking at another hotel fell through due to a booking error.

The area is rather remote but the ideal place to see puffins up close -- literally at your feet from the viewing platform that the town has built next to the puffin nesting area. The breakfast and dinner at the hotel were very tasty!
