The hosts were very accommodating to our late arrival. They also provided an excellent breakfast in our room the next morning - my wife had a delicious omelette and I had the “Dutch Baby”, so good! We stayed in the Library Room, very comfy and cosy. Close to Victoria Airport. I highly recommend a night or romantic weekend here.

The room was very comfy and our host was positively a hoot 😀
Our reason for staying was to fly out very early and she prepared a snck the night before so we would have something at 3:30 am before leaving.

The suite was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. The location was quiet with outdoorsy things to do nearby (beach, trails). The breakfast was excellent! The hosts went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and I will definitely return!

Staff are great. Room was very nice. But REALY stand-out was the BREAKFEST. I KNOW when I come back to the Island for a visit I will be sure to stay here because the BREAKFEST meal is so so so good.

The room was spotless and well appointed. Our stay was short due to a early flight, but we felt comfortable and welcome immediately. The furry members of the family did steal the show a bit. We look forward to staying again when we have more time!
