Great little motel tucked away at the back of Stanley. This was my 2nd stay here. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are spacious and clean. I didn't eat in the resturant but the menu sounded great. Will definetly stay here again when in town.

A great place for a family. We booked a 2 bedroom self contained unit and it had everything we could wish for - good cooking facilities, comfortable beds, good service, excellent tv reception and a stunning view. Only a couple of small (in the scale of things) complaints: dodgy free wifi - had to sit on the balcony but even... More

Even though it was passed the room service finishing time, the staff delivered our food. (around 10pm) which was nice of them. was not too hungry.I had the soup of the day (tomato) and garlic bread... More

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.

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
