"Rooms are small but clean. I would suggest removing the big plant so there is more room. Coffee was supposed to be ready at 8:00am but wasn't out until 9:00am. The hotel is right across from Long Sands and can be seen from the room. I would stay there again. There is coffee sold at the general store which is a very short walk."

"Cathy was amazing. Location is good 10 min walk to short sands beach . Few so oke things we didn’t like but. Room was tidy and looks fresh . The stairs going up to the third floor had no lights at night time. Have something on the railing device don’t help when trying to hold the step stairs. Ye they didn’t work. No lights on used flashlight. To see that was the only factor they was difficult Tho k it needs a railing on the house die as well for safety . Again Cathy was so amazing. We would come back. Would def want a bottom floor room.."
