Was ok, best was the updated bathroom. There was an attempt at kitchenette which is why we booked here. I didn’t like the two burner hotplate on an old table…. Would be better on a microwave stand and have a collapsible table against the wall ( IKEA for example ) to create more space. Need new pillows also. Overall, staff was friendly, motel was quiet even though at capacity.

A nice place to stay

I've stayed at the Fair Isle at least once a year over the last 3 years and always had a good experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable and have a view of Bras D'Or lake. This time I had a small kitchenette.
