Really good Harbour View Getaway

cute people delicious breakfast convenient parking
Alan and Claire were very cute people. The breakfast choices included yogurt, cereals, and hot food. We received clear directions to the car park with a permit. Unpacking was convenient with a loading bay outside.
The bathroom basin shelf was in an awkward location. It made using the small basin somewhat difficult. This could be addressed for more convenience.
