Disliked: Room comfort
Beautiful setting, but hard beds
Other than the beds, which were worse than old university dorms - like sleeping on plywood - it's a nice place. The service was pleasant, and it was very clean, although it smelled strongly of bleach. The setting was lovely, right on the ocean. We appreciated the little kitchen suite.
Check in went very smoothly. The room was very outdated. Fridge made a terrible noise. Bed was low & uncomfortable. Taps were backwards. Water temp was hard to control. Don’t recommend for the price
We stayed at the Romantic Cabin. The cabin was at the beach. The scenery was breathtaking. We saw a seal in the water. The cabin has been renovated and cozy. The site is rustic. The staff is over the top friendly.
Our room was comfortable but has been well used. I found the bed ok the first night but hard the second. Breakfast was good but cost extra. I’d give Glenghorm 6.5/10.
We had a room downstairs right next to the parking, so it was very noisy all night with people coming and going. Also, the room was very dim, with just one lamp between the two queen beds.
Our friends had a room upstairs which was much better with big windows.
Unfortunately, our stay was not pleasant as some guests were loud and obnoxious throughout the night.
The motel is dated but upgrades are being conducted and that shows. The bed was really good with exceptionally warm comforter and embroidered towels, new floor.
Once the bathroom is complete it will shine I’m sure.
Our garden room #107 was dated but very clean. The beds were comfortable and we slept to the sound of the waves!
The resort was not busy so we were able to drive right up to the beach and watch the waves from a bench. Someone with restricted mobility could enjoy the view from the car.
There is no easy access to get down to the water level, the ramp does not go all the way to the bottom so I had to go around rocks and jump down a few feet and then climb back up a big rock, but I was able to manage with good shoes on and making my way slowly. The beach is very rocky and water shoes would be a must to avoid slipping on rocks if going for a swim.
The resort is dated but owners are making some updates, they were building new decks for the cottages close to the ocean while we were there.
It was a fine stay for one night. I would definitely go back just for the beach view/access.
On arrival the first room had a smell mouldy and dampness. We asked for a second room, the only room left was more expensive in another 3 unit building. Upon arrival still some dampness but better than the first so we took it. After settling in we noticed couch and chair was not cleaned from the previous occupants. When the occupants of the upper unit arrived they were very noisy, we could hear running and if they were moving furniture. In the morning a woman waking her dog crossed on our front porch and looked inside and looked surprised that someone was there. By the time I opened the door, she was gone, don’t know if she was from the other 2 units. At checkout there was a large crowd and we dropped off the keys and left.we would not recommend or return to this property.
