Great place to stay here. Very nice family !

We booked Ellen’s Bay Inn because we wanted to be close to the Stingray City tour operator. It is within walking distance. Judith and sister Sharon were gracious and helpful in providing information, recommendations for local sight seeing opportunities and the perfect ambience in an Inn that is more like being welcomed into their home. They provided us with an excellent breakfast and dinner fare that was on par to any exclusive restaurant on the island. They attended to all of our needs, as guests. Both harvested lemongrass from their garden and crafted excellent lemongrass teas for us. So often we believe it’s the destination and not the people that we meet along the way. This journey was enriched by our stay there.

A good place to spend the night

We spent a night there, and despite being simple, it really helped us. The owner received us in a very friendly way and although it was a little bit late, she was very kind and prepared us something to eat. The air conditioner was already on in our bedroom and the bedding and the room were totally clean. The bedroom has a nice space and there were two double beds. Regarding the location, it's far from downtown, and if you're looking for restaurants/ cafeterias, they aren't around. Breakfast is available.

Very remote but accommodating

Prompt service

This is a nice local place to stay. The staff is adorable!

if you plan to visit stingray city, then. I'd suggest staying at this property. super convenient, super nice staff, reasonably priced and good food.

Well we so happy be there, super nice owners and friiendly and professional, and food too. Thanks.

This was a mistake. Wont return. No service whatsoever on Christmas day. Not even a bottle of water was offered and they fully well knew that a guest was arriving as they left the door open with keys Inside. Nothing was open in the area nor was the cafe open. It was christmas day, what a way to share a happy cheerful welcome. The bathroom had nothing in it but toilet paper and liquid hand soap. The shower glass wall had a massive crack and someone thought it was smart to use paint and draw over the crack in a shameful attempt to hide this.

Too distant and disconnected for me.

The place is remote and nestled within what appears to be a residential area. Without maps, it would be difficult to find. There was no one at the office upon arrival. No instructions were provided on what to do to check in. I had to ask a neighbor to contact the number on the door. We waited for someone to show up. Wifi was weak. Room was clean and tidy.

Nothing

Booking in on arrival was slow. We were not expected despite notifying them of our arrival time. Demand was made for payment even though we had paid one month before when booking. No apology when they discovered our payment. All-day breakfast turned out to be just sausage and egg even though we had ordered mushrooms and baked beans as well..! The worst breakfast we have encountered on our holiday so far - sloppy and broken eggs. No restaurant service available in the evening. Poor water pressure in the shower. Dirty windows. Nowhere to hang wet towels and swimming costumes. Woken up during the night by the noise of the water-pump situated behind our room. Nicely lit terrace area in the evenings. Overall we would NOT recommend this property.

Coût des repas plutôt élevés. Déjeuner continental "inclus" mais en 7 nuitées, je lai eu 3 fois. 2 matins il y avait rien et les 2 autres On m'a fait part que le dejeuner d'aujourd'hui était des oeufs/ bacon ou "french toasts "... Pour ensuite me les faire payer lors du check out.. C'est un peu insultant entre choisir de ne pas manger ou payer ce qui devait être inclus... Confort de la chambre correct Par contre, il pourrait y avoir une 2e couverture plutôt que juste un drap, ça serait un gros plus! :-) Ménage de la chambre minimum, sans que ce soit un ménage complet quotidien, il serait bien de passer aux 2 ou 3 jours pour vider les poubelles et changer les serviettes. (suggestion) plutôt que de passer après 5 jours. sinon, emplacement loin de tout mais tranquille et agréable, Wifi performant, espaces de stationnement suffisant lors de mon passage, cuisinier sympatique. Chambre suffisamment grande et quand même en bon état pour une période post-pandémique où l'absence de touriste à dû affecté durant plus de 2 ans.

It should be 2 star Hotel (not 3 star)

We arrived early and the owner had a terrible attitude towards us, we felt like we were an annoying part to her day, she was not friendly in any sense of greeting her customers, once we got settled in our room we noticed lots of spiders and ants and nats were very bad in the restroom, the shower had no hot water and very poor water pressure and we did try to contact the owner but she was never around for us to talk to so we decided to move to a different hotel we tried 3 separate times to contact the owner and to no avail she just was never around and when we tried to check out she had rented out the room while we still had paid for the room and had a key to that room and she never even let us know. In general it was a terrible experience and very unfriendly and that fact she just gives the room key to one customer and gives another set to another customer is a accident waiting to happen but if you are looking for just a bed and plan on being gone most of your day I wish you the best of luck with your stay here.

The lady at the front desk was wonderful until she left at 6 pm.

Bathroom shower glass was broken and it was decorated to look like art. Very week and low water pressure. Unable to wash hands in bathroom sink. Used shower to clean hands. Television did not work but was told it was brand new. Air conditioner went out on first night. Called mgmt who came promptly (KUDOS). Was told AC unit was new. MGMT rubbed batteries which turned on AC unit for room. Provided two fans to room in case the AC unit went out again. Loved the outdoor space but at night the bugs is a bit much. Would be nice to have netting outside since there wasn’t much to do in room while my children slept

I stayed for one night.. it was great and the staff eere very welcoming and hospitable.

I really enjoyed my stay here, the staff are lovely and caring and cater to your needs well. Such a relaxing stay thank you Sharon.

Nothing fancy but peaceful.

I wanted a quiet out of the hustle and bustle place to stay and got exactly that. Seatons village is a bit run down with a shop and restaurant/take away/bar 5 mins walk from the Ellen Bay Inn. There was no cafe/restaurant facility at the Inn at the time I was there, although the kitchen and room for it are there. A car is a must to get anywhere, once I had a car I was out and about every day, exploring the island and the beaches and several attractions. Stingray City and the giant tortoise island are a couple of minutes walk from the Ellen Bay Inn and Betties Hope plantation museum a 5 minute drive. The nearest and really nice beach is at Long Bay about 10 minutes drive away, through Willikies Village. The ice cream shop in Willikies on the way to the beach is worth a stop. There is a great Italian restaurant at the beach and a drink/ice cream kiosk and some little beach front market huts…. Also selling beer and snacks and soft drinks. They do boat trips from Long Bay too and you can hire a kayak type boat. Breakfast at Ellen Bay Inn was very basic and simple with limited choice, if any , on some days. The room was clean and tidy with a decent bathroom a fridge and Roku internet TV, where you can sign in to the likes of Amazon Prime and Netflix and Disney. There was free WiFi, which was good enough for what I needed. The bed was OK. although there was no chair in the room. Aircon is included, a little noisy though.. Got what I paid for. I relaxed for the week.
