Diane and her team did a great job looking after us during our work on the island. They showed flexibility with last minute bookings and changes. We always received a warm welcome. I recommend this accommodation for families, leisure, and business stays.
The room missed some small touches.

convenient locationpoor cleanlinessnoticeable noise
The location was quite convenient, just a short walk to the beach.
The room I got, a Standard Double or Twin Room, was rather underwhelming (especially considering the price). The cleanliness wasn't up to par. I noticed some dust in corners and the bathroom tiles had mildew. The noise from adjacent rooms was also noticeable, disrupting my sleep a couple of times.
