fantastic stay with amazing hosts!
spacious bedroom smart tv ample showering products
Alec and sophie welcomed me warmly. they have a spacious bedroom with a smart tv and bathroom. Ample showering products were available too. i appreciated the short walk into the town and harbour. breakfast was a real plus. It was served from 08:45, 09:45. Earlier breakfast was available upon request.
I noticed the hotel is on high ground. It might not suit guests with mobility issues.
