    The house was in an ideal location - quiet area of the city, close to the sea. The furnishing was very cozy with a fireplace and a garden. The house had all the equipment you need and very clean as well. The communication with the host before and during our stay was perfect, very responsive and caring. Would recommend!

    Staff were exceptional, very friendly and helpful. Craig cooked my breakfast half an hour before breakfast started because I had to go and get a train at 8am. he even got me a take away cup so I could take another coffee on the train with me. It's a budget hotel so the facilities are basic, but that is reflected in the price. And it's an exceptionally good budget hotel, very clean, with well maintained modest rooms, and a really good breakfast. Donald the barman is a fantastic character and Craig and Wendy are the perfect hosts.
