Superb stay!

convenient location spacious bedroom lovely shower helpful owners

I found the location VERY convenient. The bedroom was spacious. The ensuite shower was lovely and the room had everything i needed. The owners were always on hand if i needed anything.

The room was small, a little difficult for two people to move around in at the same time. That was really a very minor issue though.

The hotel has free wifi throughout and it worked perfectly. Each room has a television with access to freeview channels. There is luggage storage available for early arrivals and late departures, really convenient.

excellent location and amenities

beautiful decoration short walk quality fixtures early admission

the room was beautifully decorated and felt luxurious. the location is a short walk from the harbour and beaches. the room was well-equipped with quality fixtures. early admission was allowed , and i could leave my bags until later.

the absence of on-site parking proved to be a minor inconvenience , but alternative options were available nearby.

a mixed experience

cramped room tiny shower

The room felt cramped, especially with two people. we had the 'small double room', and maneuvering around the bed was difficult. Barely any space existed. the shower was also tiny. It felt challenging to use. baggage storage was limited to a small rail, which wasn't enough for our things.
