The guest house is located close to the harbor and shops. It is about a 10-minute walk to the city center. Overlooking the bay made the location great.

lovely sea view room
clear communicationbeautiful viewclean room
the host communicated clearly prior to arrival. i was offered a room on a lower floor because of the stairs. there are stairs and no lift, so be aware of this detail. the view from my window was beautiful. the room was clean and had everything i needed.
breakfast could use some improvement. the milk at the table had spoiled. i think a small fridge for guest access would prevent this issue.
Rooms

the room included coffee and tea facilities. complimentary biscuits. there was plenty of wardrobe space. the family room had a comfortable double bed and a single bed with silk duvet covers.

my room had a comfy bed. there were plenty of plug sockets available , which was very useful. the breakfast was lovely. the ladies working in the breakfast room were very friendly , too.
upon arrival , i was informed that the wifi was down. it was puzzling that i wasn't updated when it was fixed. i discovered it was working only towards the end of my stay.

the staff was friendly. the breakfast had many choices and was cooked to perfection. i had a comfy and clean room with a sea view. the coffee machine it had, was a welcome bonus.
my room felt smaller than i expected. the tv was small. the hanging space isn't a wardrobe, so its not good for dresses.
