Great Stay with Fantastic Communal Kitchen

clean kitchen honesty box available staff easy system
The guest house was clean and well maintained. I liked the communal kitchen. It was super clean. The honesty box system worked really well and made things easy. The staff was always available, either in person or at the pub.
The water pressure in the shower could have been better, but it wasn't a major issue.
Location

The guest house is very close to the ferry terminal. The bay view is excellent from many areas of the hotel. Council parking is available nearby, free after 6 PM until 9 AM which is very useful arriving by car.
