Before you book

Before you book a stay with us, please be aware of the following alerts and disruptions, which may affect your experience on the island.

A note about guided tours

We encourage guests to embark on a tour during their stay – it’s a great way to engage with the island’s history. Please check tour availability ahead of booking accommodation as we cannot always guarantee tours will run during your stay. As tours can sell out, we also recommend booking tickets at the same time as accommodation.

In proceeding with an accommodation booking on this date, you accept our T&Cs
