Great location across the road from the beachside walk. Easy check in. Would be really helpful to have a mirror beside a power point in the living room for hair drying. The hair dryer can't be used in the bathroom, where the only mirror is, as the power point there is only for razors.

It’s probably not the fanciest in town but it’s so warm, directly across from non-built up beach (so you get beautiful dark skies). It’s clean and comfy as. Really lovely front of house. I’ll come back!
