Findlay, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We arrived around 8:45pm. It was contactless checkin but It was very quick and easy and no problems at all. Property was always quick to respond to me and communication was great. We basically just slept there so we can not comment about much else. We left for the ferry at 5:50 am so I am not sure if breakfast is good or not. Very clean and the room was great!
Laura, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Fending for ourselves in Tarbert

When I booked the description said parking available. It wasn’t, you had to take your luck in public car park. We did not see the host at all. It was like he was invisible. Breakfast delivered to room and left outside. No contact with host. Good location in the town.
