"wood" you stay here?

Although the room was clean and comfortable it was very dated The property was poorly kept with decking that needed a lot of attention. Beautiful views were obstructed by overgrowth. This hotel is below par for the area and the price.

Its a thoughtful arrangement. Such as klennex and coffee pods. Many details added to an older cottage, makes it very cozy. We love the view.

We had a fabulous stay. The property offers beautiful views. The room was clean and cozy. The wine glasses were a nice touch after drinking wine out of paper/plastic cups at our other accommodations. :) The staff were super helpful & friendly. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. We ordered several apps for a late night snack and had the breakfast. Both were delicious!

I had a great stay at the cottage! The place was clean, spacious, and located in a peaceful area. It came fully equipped with all the amenities you could need, which made the stay very comfortable.

Cute Cabin with a Fantastic View

Staff were friendly, allowed an early check in. We would have liked to have eaten at the restaurant, it looked great but limited optikns with my wife's food allergies. Highlight was sitting on our private deck in the evening reading and watching boats come in and out of harbour
