Fantastic hotel with great food. Quiet when we stayed but assume very busy and buzzing with visitors in the summer due to proximity to the marina.

I loved this hotel. The staff was wonderful. Dinner wasn’t bad but not mind-blowing. Breakfast was pretty good. You could tell that every detail of the room was chosen meticulously for comfort and a smaller environmental footprint. The outdoor space in the back was heavenly to watch the sunrise. I was even lucky enough to have a bunny come hangout with me.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The food and staff were excellent, delicious supper and breakfast. The major problem for us was the room. Make sure you are not in the IONA Suite. It is not a suite and the bedroom does not have a window. This was not explained to me when we booked and feel we were misled. We asked to change rooms but none were available so were stuck with it. As a long time user of Expedia we feel very let down and mis-sold.
