We stayed here for one night and chose the Seaview room. It had lovely views over the Nut and Stanley itself. The room was quite large with plenty of bedding and space though the bathroom was a little dated and in need of renovation. Soundproofing was pretty ordinary and made for a late night as people arrived at all hours... More

On the whole this place was a bit tired, we had a suite. Free internet connection was poor dropping out all the time. We phoned to book after looking up their web site, this was much more expensive than advertised web price. After mentioning the web site the reception said "I was unaware of that" and matched the web price.... More

The Seaview Inn is a short distance from the main part of Stanley, on a hill overlooking the town. There were a range of accommodation options, and we stayed in the King Suite with corner spa, at a very reasonable price, so we can only comment on that room, but we were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. Our... More

We stayed in the self contained accommodation with views of The Nut. It was quite easy to find (a fairly large sign points the direction you have to head) - about 3-5min drive out of the main street. Everything was set up in the room - enough pots, pans, tea towel, plates, cutlery etc etc. There was a couch, table... More

The ONLY disadvantage here is a reasonable walk to town if you don't have a car ------ but this is more that compensated for by the wonderful views from most rooms and from the dining area. Rooms were beautifully furnished, clean, and of an adequate size --- many with great views over the bay. (There is a variety of rooms... More

A reasonably basic motel starting to show its age, but our rooms were comfortable enough. The deck at the front was a plus where we had pre- dinner drinks. The scallop dish at the restaurant was rather tasty, and we were well looked after by two waitresses. great views from the dining room. I loved the country ambience- surrounded by... More

Spent a night in two bedroom self contained room which was very clean and offered great views across Stanley to "The Nut". The accommodation was fairly basic and the decor/fittings a bit dated but more than met our requirements. The owners/managers were friendly and assisted with general tourist information on the area. Being away from the main part of town... More

Admittedly it may be because we got the Spa Suite at a great price (we booked with friends and got the spa room rate because nothing else was available, and our room was in the old house, not the newer motel style units out the back), but we loved the Seaview. Our room had a stunning view of "The Nut"... More

Comfortable and clean. Decor perhaps a little in need of updating. Dinner in restaurant wonderful. Very friendly proprietors. Lovely views from room of The Nut. Breakfast served to room the night before was all you would need. Only one little criticism... Shampoo provided but no conditioner. Perhaps a switch to a conditioning shampoo if only one item is to be... More

Fairly basic but quite comfortable rooms. Sitting on deck in front of the seaview rooms, watching the Nut and the sea, is very pleasant. More
