Wonderful Stay Near the Coast

kind hostsclean spacesmall bathroom
Gemma and Jonny were such kind hosts. Their friendly attitude. The room was perfect, with a comfortable and very clean space for the nights I stayed. It was like home. It was nice being a short drive to town.
The one issue I encountered was the small bathroom. It felt cramped for a longer stay, especially the shower area. There wasn't much room to move around, and I wished there was more space. This didn't ruin my visit, but it is worth noting.
