Lovely place to stay in with a restaurant pub right nearby.
Pros:

The room was cozy and nice, I thought it would be quite hot as I went in August, but the room was relatively cool and fan was available. The stay was overall great, just 12-15 mins drive to town. Free parking available as well, bus station near by as well. Near gas station and a small co-op as well.

Will be returning
Pros:

Wee Waif is a practical, well priced stay. Amenities are basic, but priced appropriately. Hotel is a little tired looking, but has a hungry horse attached to it and free parking. What more could you want?

Cons:

Nothing.
