I liked most aspects of my stay. Aside from the uncontrollable things like a heavy smoker in the dorm room, the weather, and the painful hike up from the wharf with food and everything else. I was disappointed to find all three sofas in the lounge were leather. I liked the board games available and the jigsaw puzzles. I loved the wildlife. So many different insects, that sometimes need rescuing. I would happily stay again.

Not a bad word to say about this place! Staff were amazing and extremely helpful (especially when we locked ourselves out the room at midnight, not even an eye roll in sight) lovely buildings, views and as its small everyone ends up eating and cooking together while experience was an unexpected treasure

Wow!! Loved it. A little bit hard to reach. You have to take a ferry but if you don’t mind a little adventure it’s great.
