Good, could be better
Good location Clean and warm Overall good. Bring extra toilet paper and dishwasher powder if you are staying more than a couple of days as only 3 loo rolls and a small amount of powder is supplied and not replaced during your stay. Shackleton restaurant had excellent staff and nice food but wouldn’t go there again unless they can fix the smoke coming into the restaurant from the fire place. We felt like we had smoked a packet of cigarettes, our clothes smelled and eyes burned. Felt sorry for the staff working there. There is a thick black stain above the fire place that suggests this has been going for some time. The data allowance of 300mb per day is lousy. Other similar/ lower priced properties would provide unlimited good quality internet access at no extra charge and top ups of loo roll and other basic essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, dishwashing liquid and powder. All that said these were minor annoyances and we would stay there again.

Nice Stay But OverRated
We stayed here for 4 nights and weren't that impressed for the price we paid . Nice rooms , but could have got somewhere just as good for less than we paid .It was looking quite run down and needs a bit of a freshen up. The restaurant was closed and that was part of the reason why we stayed there, as its very highly recommended. We ran out of milk on the morning we were leaving and went to reception to see if we could get a small amount for our coffee and was flatly refused and was told we are a resort not a hotel So we won't be back
