The Fisherman's home was built at the end of the 1800's (!) and so even if it has been renovated numerous times since, it is still a very old house. This means that there are a few things you should be aware of before booking this house:
  • The walls are very thin, meaning that you will easily hear your room-neighbours - also when they have to get up in the small wee hours to catch a plane (unless you're a sound sleeper or are friends with some good earplugs).
  • There are two separate toilets in the house - one is extremely small and the other is a bit awkwardly placed in a small room off the kitchen. When renovating the house in 2004 this was the only way we could keep two toilets. We know it's not ideal, but it's the way it is and it's not much to do about it.
Some people take issues with these factors, others think it's just part of the charm. You know best yourself what kind of group you belong to.
As much as we would love to be able to please everyone, these are things we can't do anything about without tearing the whole house down and rebuilding it. And we won't do that. So if you think these things will make your stay with us less than comfortable, please consider booking a room in our more modern and recently upgraded Writer's home instead.
