Excellent service. The motel van was waiting for us when we arrived in the airport shuttle. They took us back when we checked out and showed us where to store our bags so we were free to explore the island until our flight left. The staff were friendly and helpful and the motel is an easy walk to town and has stunning views.

We were collected as arranged and our luggage stored until the room was ready, we did arrive at 10.30am so expected the room to be unavailable immediatley. The staff were amazing and offered some guidence for us to be able to book the things we wanted to do. We loved being able to open the balcony doors and enjoy the bird life in the plantings that surrounded the motel. They offered us transport back to the flight hub, we did choose to to walk but the offer was appreciated. I recommend this motel.

The room was great, the bed was comfortable. The views of the harbour from the balcony were lovely. We were greeted by host when we arrived and they took us and our luggage to our meeting point for Ulva island taxi. They took our luggage to the motel. I would recommend the bus tour of the island too.
