Niets. Werd wakker met reeën in de tuin.

Exceptional
Pros:

Beautiful building inside and out. The rooms and hallways matched and accentuated the history of the hotel. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and all the staff were very friendly. Within easy walking distance to two restaurants, the ferry, and a few attractions on the north side of the island. We will definitely stay again on future visits to the island!

Doubt I would stay here again unless desperate
Pros:

Location was everything. Not much to choose from on Grand Manan

Cons:

No food. Breakfast not until 7:30, too late for working people. Just an old inn, kind of updated with a modern bathroom.
