Really great hotel for the price, it was clean and comfortable and cut the drive to tobermory to only 2 hours. If I could recommend anything it would be blinds in addition to the curtains as I could see people's shadows at night walking past but it was not a big deal. I would definitely come back, one of the cleanest comfiest hotels I have been to, don't let the outside trick you its a great place to stay the night.

This place is very basic and still being renovated. That said it is spotless and safe if you are just looking for a nice clean safe and reasonably priced place to lay your head at night. The owners were spectacular. Such nice people who made our stay enjoyable. Thank you!

Newly renovated and very clean! I stayed here for 4 to 5 days at a time over a 1 month period and enjoyed my stay. The west facing building allows for sitting on the porch and enjoying the beautiful sunset. The owner is very friendly and accommodating.

It is a clean place. Our goal was a good value and in an area which allowed us to visit the local small towns. This was the perfect place for it! The drives were scenic and calming. I will book with them again!

Was in town to visit family and friends and came across this newly renovated property and decided to stay here for the night. To my surprise it exceeded my expectations! The room was great and had everything that you would expect to see in a standard hotel and bed was very comfortable and stand up shower was great!! The owner was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!
