This property was great - maybe needs a little bit of renovation but the facilities were good and just a short walk to centre town and eating venues. Very happy with our choice.

The loft was a nice feature for families. The only reason for not getting five stars was a bit of a musty smell. Convenient walk to restaurants and a grocery.
