i stayed in a room with provided binoculars and i enjoyed views of kerrera island. the twin beds offered great space. comfy chairs sat by the window, great! the mini fridge and tunnocks teacakes were unexpected bonuses.
The shower's water pressure was almost nonexistent. it stopped mid-shower several times. It was inconvenient.
