Lovely place for an overnight stay. We arrived quite late and had to call for check in. The lady was there in a minute and quickly checked us in to a lovely clean room with a very comfortable bed. Location is close to the ferry

This came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. The staff worked very hard. The rooms are spacious with direct access to outside. It has a great restaurant at the property that even the locals come to. It was a short distance to the Ferry. Ideal for comfortable & convenient stay.
