Great location

The location is great for walking to anything near the harbor. Colorful Scottish host wore kilt to breakfast each morning. Breakfast served on beautiful china was always the same yogurt, granola, blueberries, and crescent dished out by host onto our plates. We either had to wait to eat or were hurried out because others were waiting to eat. Lots of steep stairs. Gorgeous back patio/yard and private parking behind. Rooms are small no tv, frig, or microwave. Shower extremely small. Comfortable bed. Friendly hosts.

The hosts Sandy & Cathy were very welcoming. Once checked into our room we met them along with other guests on their beautiful deck & shared a complimentary glass of wine. Sandy shared many historic stories of the area, very interesting.The room & inn was very clean & the bed very comfortable. We were served an excellent continental breakfast the next morning, Sandy serving it in his kilt. The only issue we found was the air conditioning could have been functioning better on such a hot night.

We arrive 15 min before check in and was told to wait in the parking lot or the garden in the hot sun. The aircon knobs control was removed and was told the aircon was set to maximum. It 35 degrees outside and waited 2 hrs to cool and complained that it was not cooling. We had to fight for the aircon to be fixed and called Expedia to to move us but to no avail
