This guesthouse is in a good central position close to the quay. The breakfast was excellent and the hosts very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable and the lounge was good for relaxing in. There were no problems at all.

Excellent in every way. Ideally situated in Hugh Town. Charming and very helpful owners.
