Bwaver Cottage

The hotel was a good call. Rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was properly equipped, and the veranda was a nice spot to wind down in the evening. It's well located for reaching the island's main sights — though to be fair, you can cycle around the entire island in a day anyway. One of the owners' family members is a taxi driver, so there's always someone to call, and he's the one who handles the transfer between the port and the hotel. The owners are very responsive and genuinely try to solve any problem you run into. That said, it wasn't without its downsides...

The main one: everything costs extra. Everything. We asked to stay on the property for two hours after checkout while waiting for our ferry, and they wouldn't budge on charging us for it. We paid with a large note and were told there was no change available - but the moment we said we'd just leave instead, the change turned up immediately. Bike rental on site is another one. The prices were well above what we saw elsewhere on the island, and the markup on e-bikes was several times over. The owner told us the bikes aren't even hers — yet they're parked on the property around the clock. Worth knowing before you book: the stay itself is good, but budget for the extras and rent your bikes somewhere else.

A home away from home, this beautiful cottage is kept clean and neat, the manager Lindy and her family are absolutely lovely, it is very safe, calm, quiet (away from the loud/busy area but easy to get to everything). The rooms are really sweet, the garden lush, the breakfast and dinner excellent. There are bikes available, good internet, life is easy.

Nothing!

The accommodation was lovely, clean, comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring the island. The staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Everything was exactly what we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful breakfast and nice premises.

The payment process wasn't very clear from the start of the booking. I had to pay a certain % of the booking to an account in France before coming (totally legit by the way). At checkout, when we had to pay, the remaining amount for the room could be paid by card but all the extras (bike, transfer, late check-out) had to be paid cash. This caught us by surprise and we weren't ready for this. Also there was no shower gel and shampoo in the room.
