Historic site on Home island that has much potential but needs work to bring it up to a standard for travelling public as interior was dark, old and run down in some areas. Price per room based on one person- surcharge charged for each additional person. We (two of us) used the same bed- had not have this happen at other accommodation and would understand if additional beds used but wasn't the case.
Bedding was clean and bathroom older but clean. Room was big but some improvements with lighting for reading and relaxing would be helpful.
Our host, Shovel, was excellent. Met us at the airport and made our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. Very down to earth, helpful and friendly. Has some good ideas for how the placed could run. Made sure we got to all our ferries and entertained us but wasn't intrusive. Also arranged a fantastic local meal at a reasonable price for us- thanks!
This place really could do with a clear out of junk and equipment that isn't needed and a spruce up and spring clean as there is huge potential here.
