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.

We spent one night; the reception was excellent! The room is clean and has everything one needs. However, from outside, the property looks too old and needs some renovations
