Lovely low-key Spot to overnight prior to fishing trip. Will located approximate to the marina and docs. Large large, clean air-conditioned room was perfect for myself and companion. Nice outdoor dining area, but the only low light from this experience was the lack of available breakfast items, and in attentive staff.

We loved the house, a wooden mansion dating back to colonial times, and our room passing down the feeling of times lost (n°2, afcing the reception). Yes, there's construction accross the street, but this is bound to be finished in 2026. The best, though, was the reception we received by both young ladies at the front desk, both extremely nice and helpful. Thanks!

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

My husband and I walked from the water taxi to the Great House Inn - hot but less than 8 minutes (with our luggage), so appreciated the location. Reception was on 2nd floor, but as soon as we got there, an attendant took all our luggage up. Receptionist was awesome and SUPER helpful. Room was very spacious and clean -quaint We used the pool and upper deck facilities. We ordered take-out from the upper deck, and WIFI was spotty, so receptionist came and got us when it was ready. The only negative was that our room was directly across from the receptionist desk, so there was more noise/distractions. Our friends had a different room on a different floor and said theirs was quiet. Great WhatsApp communication. Very welcoming. Loved the quaint old colonial type rooms in this historic building -- it was charming and felt safe the entire time. We ventured out to a mini craft market, and then walked over the bridge to a supermarket. Would totally use or recommend.

The property itself has very good. Good location for walking to very good restaurants, the marine terminal, downtown and other attractions. Unfortunately they are building two large hotels or condos across the street, with construction almost around the clock - and sure to block the view. Our room was in the very front of the hotel, so we also heard lots of coming and going around the property, including property workers. Would likely stay again, but after the construction work is done.

There are a couple of things to be aware of. The restaurant on the first floor only serves breakfast. However, there are several dinning options within walking distance. The other thing to consider, is if you have mobility issues as I do, there is no elevator, and all bedrooms require going up stairs. The stairs are steep.
We also really enjoyed the hotel pool a great deal. It was clean and refreshing after a day of walking.

Our stay at the great house inn was nice. The history of the house is interesting, with that said, it is an old structure and was adequate stay for the type of place it is. The room was very spacious with needed amenities. Small well kept pool and lounging area. Breakfast can be bought if it was not paid for included in the stay, but the continental breakfast is lackluster. The order options seemed better for cheaper. There is currently construction across the street of a new hotel so it can be noisy during the day. Not much in the area immediately around the hotel, but there are some restaurants within walking distance, and the water taxi ports are also in walking distance.
