Very nice Island Retreat

distillery tour restaurant dinner
My stay included a complimentary distillery tour. Nuala's expertise made it very informative. I found the restaurant dinner superb with many choices, excellent presentation, and amazing taste (the seafood was very nice!).
The bedroom felt small. Moving around required some maneuvering. The bed size was inadequate for two people, and the duvet barely covered the mattress. I wish more space was available.
Location
9/10
The hotel is near the ferry terminal, perfect for reaching hiking trails. The ferry to the island is short and provides scenic views. This location provides easy access and natural beauty.
Service

The hotel staff members are friendly and helpful. Craig and Ethan were particularly attentive at the bar. The receptionist greeted guests warmly and offered tips on local walks.
