Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located excellently on a very pretty quaint high street by the sea. The rooms offer great views and come with an openable window, but there is no real working space, and there is a shared washroom. The service includes housekeeping, a welcome drink, and pet amenities available. The bakery next door to the Staghead offers dining options, particularly toasts. The facilities are convenient. The price is reasonable considering the value received.
This hotel offers stunning views and a convenient location near the airport. The rooms are basic with shared washrooms but have openable windows for a nice view. The service is good, with welcoming staff and pet amenities available. The dining options are limited to a nearby bakery, but the famous USDA prime-aged steaks make up for it. The shorefront location adds to the charm of the stay.
The hotel is beautifully located on a very pretty quaint high street by the sea, offering lovely views and a convenient ten-minute drive to the airport. The rooms provide a good view and come with necessary amenities like a toilet and bath, but lack a proper working space. The service is top-notch, with pleasant housekeeping and refreshing welcome drink options. However, pet amenities are not available. Dining at the nearby bakery adds charm to the stay, although more variety could enhance the experience. Overall, a cozy spot with some room for improvement.
I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel. The location was superb, right on the shoreline and close to many established restaurants in the Ferry area. The rooms were cozy, and the staff provided great service. However, the lack of a proper working space in the rooms was a bit inconvenient. The bakery next door to the hotel offered fantastic dining options.
This hotel offers beautiful views, but lacks a proper working space. The rooms have stunning views but could use more amenities. The service is exceptional, with thoughtful pet amenities available. The location is in a quiet area but lacks nearby dining options. The facilities are modern and convenient, offering a relaxed atmosphere.
