Location in the town, convenient for whale watching trips.
Good:
Friendly owner.
Bad:
Showers are free but were absolutely shocking, they were completely stone cold when we visited in late May (early winter) and so were literally unusable unless I wanted to die of hypothermia shortly afterwards. We chose life and so had to go without showers. The showers were exactly the same in both mens and women's.
The kitchen was open plan with the outside, there is no door so cooking in there is pretty awful when it's cold outside because it is exactly the same temperature in the kitchen. The hobs are in terrible looking condition and they take a long time to heat up. The hobs are really rusty, which was obviously going to happen if you have a kitchen that is as essentially outside. There are no utensils, no kettle, no toaster literally nothing other than the rusty hobs and some sinks.
