Pros:

The location was great for our islands road trip, and so near beautiful Baleshare Beach. We enjoyed eating there - great breakfasts, and the scampi was particularly good! Owners Katie and Alex are so relaxed and hospitable, and deserve every success. It’s lovely that there’s a wee bar for a pre-dinner drink. Thank you!

Cons:

It was all grand. Our only suggestion would be that encouraging parking in the hotel’s car park (rather than out front) would allow the hotel’s gorgeous outlook to be more to the fore.

A great night's stay in a well located hotel with excellent choice of food
Pros:

Room decor/facilities, hotel location, food quality, staff friendliness

Cons:

Position of the bathroom extraction fan switch. Located on the ceiling next to the fan, but even I, at 6 foot tall, struggled to reach it when standing in the bath, had to stand on tiptoe!
