Our one-night stay at Innisfree was fabulous. Located just minutes from Hopewell Rocks, it’s a perfect place to stay for a visit - tickets for the attraction are valid for two consecutive days allowing the viewing of both low and high tides so it’s an ideal solution to experience both easily.
We were met upon arrival by Darren, host and chef at Innisfree. He greeted us warmly and showed us to our room - this doesn’t always happen so it’s nice to have that personal touch. I always appreciate these little nuances.
Darren is a great host and has time for all guests, despite a hefty daily routine. We opted for dinner (at extra cost) on our arrival night, and Darren’s culinary talents were exceptional. I’m not a particular lover of salads, but the starter was a gastronomic delight followed my our mains choice of Asian Smoker Chicken. The ambiguous dessert of “strawberry and rhubarb creation” was the perfect finish to a wonderful dinner. I was a little concerned initially about the cosy dining room and how many guests would be eating together, but it naturally allowed us all to chat about our trips and we met some great people from different countries.
Our room was suitably equipped with toiletries in the bathroom, decent sized fridge, kettle plus tea and coffee. We slept well and there was no outside noise.
We enjoyed breakfast again with our fellow guests. The fruit selection was fresh, and our mushroom omelette was delicious.
Darren chatted with us afterwards about his time as owner of Innisfree. He is a passionate B&B host and the place is a testament to his hard work.
I cannot recommend Innisfree enough, you will not be disappointed.
If I had to choose one negative….
I wish we could have stayed longer!!
