the staff was phenomenal, we got picked up from the ferry and felt welcome from the first moment on the island! the room itself was spacious and cosy with a lovely view, the location is amazing, but that goes for any accommodation on the island, the breakfast was nice and quiet and cosy with enough options to choose from

"Puffins Puffins Puffins. We had a delightful stay on a beautiful island."

10.0

Àslaug and Gagga are wonderful hosts. I was told the only rule is to call them if I have any questions. We were met at the ferry so we didn’t need to carry our bags on the 1 KM walk to the guesthouse. We were offered rides to the settlement and the lighthouse.

Such wonderful hosts, so kind and generous. Excellent breakfast. Great ocean views and as a bonus, whales! We were lucky with mild relatively dry weather. We really do hope to come back.

All good!
