An average stay. Could do with some work. Our room door needed oiling really bad, it was nearly a scream every time we opened it. Spider webs had taken over the windows hampering the beautiful view. Food was very good in the restaurant though and it was a quiet place to stay, apart from that door.

Charming look and feel. Close to Port Arthur and the rest of the Peninsula. The room was large and clean with a great lake view. Staff were young and friendly.

Stunning view from the room and lovely to stay in. Would have given a better rating if not for the substandard meal we received on one night. We ate two nights at the attached restaurant and the first night was wonderful. The second we had sent to our room and it was terrible. I wouldn't have thought they came from the same kitchen. Oh well, I'd definitely stay again, but not necessarily eat at the restaurant.
