I loved this stay, especially the freshly made scones for breakfast, that was such a nice touch! The only downside is that Tombstone isn’t as close to the ferry as it says when booking, this is because of a long term (if not permanent) road closure. So if you are travelling by foot (like me) then it’s quite a walk 20mins from ferry/town. Other than that, the place is lovely.

I liked that it was clean and tidy, quiet even though its close to the bluebridge terminal we slept with the windows open and were not woken by any traffic noise. Its also within walking distance of the local shops. Bed was very comfortable. I thought it could have had a little more storage. We had to keep our bags on the floor, along with the extra blankets that we took off the bed. Nowhere to put toiletries. Spa pool closed too early for us to make use of.

Gary is a great host & looks after his customers. Plenty of room to get your own space & loved the freshly baked scones for beaky. Facilities were clean & tidy. Would definitely recommend staying here.
