  • Hi. Do your twin rooms have windows/portholes? Or are they internal cabins?

    Hi, thank you for your question! No, we do not have windows/portholes, they are internal cabins. However the view from the lounge and dining area (with a lovely log burning stove), is great, and just a stone's throw away from the rooms.
