We were very comfortable during our stay. We could see the owners have made a great deal of effort to make guests comfortable. The location was fantastic, we wish the weather had been so too, but the full day of our stay was very windy and cold.

Everything was great but in particular the location across from the ferry was perfect. My young son and I were able to have an overnight adventure on the island while my sister and brother-in-law stayed and enjoyed St Mary after a day trip to the island with us.
