Convenient location to the ferry. We arrived late and they were very accommodating. The room was large, the beds comfortable but low water pressure when trying to shower. But we’d stay again just because of the location.

The start was adequate. Although there are cottages, we stayed in a motel room. The room was adequately clean, the bed decent, the bathroom clean. It was fair value for what we paid, and we might consider staying again.

Pros - the bed was clean and comfortable. The location was great with parking. Cons - the room itself was very dated, the carpets dirty and the bathroom tub/shower dirty and unusable. There was no smoke/carbon monoxide detector. Luckily this was a one night stop.

We had a two bedroom cabin. A few mismatched glasses plates and silverware. The plastic window curtains need cleaning. The fridge freezer was not useable because it needs to be defrosted. The beds were clean and comfortable. The cabins and grounds are older and quite run down. Despite all of this we were satisfied for what we needed. Cleanliness is important
