The Great House is very near to the Ferry terminal. Good - staff friendly, pool is excellent (suggest a couple of Umbrellas and maybe sunbed cushions), comfortable bed. Not so good - fridge didnt work, shower was faulty but fixed when advised to the Reception. Had breakfast one day which tbh wasnt great, overcooked scrambled egg. As there are no snacks or food available during day/evening we went next door to Fort George hotel if we needed anything when by pool, you are definitely missing a trick not having food available. Ive stayed at Great House 3 times now and tbh this trip was probably the last, Sorry but I just need more if stayi g for a few days

The front desk person was nice. The accommodations with stairs only was really bad with our luggage, carting it up three flights of steep stairs. The smell was unbearable like an old musty, place. We ended up leaving within the hour we couldn’t stand it any longer, so we stayed at another hotel.
