My stay at the guest house had its ups and downs. While the location was fantastic and quite close to the ferry and shops, the service experience left a lot to be desired. The room itself was clean but came with several issues, especially regarding comfort and noise. Although I enjoyed the local dining experience at Cafe 30, the overall stay did not meet my expectations in terms of service and value.

The room was clean but not very spacious, which made it feel cramped. Additionally, I found the bed uncomfortable and was disturbed by noise from the kitchen below.

I had a comfortable stay in a spacious guest house. The room was quiet and tastefully decorated with all the necessary amenities, making for a pleasant visit. However, it felt a bit overpriced as breakfast wasn’t included, which was a letdown. The Wi-Fi signal was poor in upstairs rooms as well, necessitating a trip to the hall for a better connection.

This guest house provided a delightful experience with its charming decor and excellent amenities. The rooms were beautifully furnished, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. While the Wi-Fi in the upstairs rooms was a bit weak, the overall comfort and dining options, especially at the on-site restaurant, made it a memorable stay.

I had a mixed experience at this guest house. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the harbour and ferry terminal, making it very convenient. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I encountered issues with the service and Wi-Fi connection. Overall, it's a decent value for money, but the service could definitely improve.
