We were really nicely surprised when we arrived here.||||The pace has a really nice feel to it and it was friendly and quirky.||||It was a shame that although they had blackboards out on the street advertising food, they said they didn't have any food the night we were here. There are not too many other places around to eat but we found On's and their food was terrific so we were actually glad we didn't eat at Cliffs in the end.||||The bedroom at the front was very big and spacious but a little dark. But that's ok - it lent itself well to the decor with the lovely furniture. The bed was a little hard for us but as we were only here for one night to wait for the ferry so we could withstand that.||||The bar downstairs did seem to stay open quite late so just be aware if you are a light sleeper as noise from the bar did carry up the stairs to the bedrooms||||The shared bathroom looked great. ||Until we came to use it at 7am the following morning. There was no water at any of the outlets - sinks - toilets - shower. We could not flush/shower/douche/clean our teeth. Anything at all. Although my partner went downstairs to report it to the chap who slept in the bar area, when we got down there he had gone back to sleep and ignored our request to turn the water back on.||||The 2 lads who run it are really characters and into their Bob Marley! They were actually really nice chaps but even though they were all charm the evening before with promises of assistance to get to the ferry the next morning, when it actually came down to it, we were let down on this point and had to hail a taxi on the street. In itself that was not a problem, we just wished they didn't make promises they couldn't keep.||||Although we really liked this place, we felt that the 2 hosts enjoy the bar side of running it, far more than they enjoy the other aspects of running a guesthouse. ||||If you just want a place to sleep and to hang out in a bar and make friends, then this is the place for you. If you need any other services during your stay, then I would recommend you stay at On's just...
