    A perfect location on the Strand, near lots of eating places. Good car park, handy kitchenette and a blissfully comfortable king-size bed. Easy access once you’ve checked in and can use the garage as a pedestrian route rather than the steps down...

    we were upgraded to the room with the ocean view, loves the ocean breeze, clean and comfortable
  • Janet

    Only stayed one night but the room was comfortable and had all the necessary equipment if you stayed longer. And its location is very good as you have direct access to the water front and the restaurants.
  • Garner

    Located across the road from the beach it suited our purpose. It is also close to many restaurants, pubs and cafes. I recommend it.
  • Debbie

    Perfect location. We had a quiet room towards the back but could still see the beach from the balcony.

    The location was exceptional we were able to walk everywhere and did some KMs while we were there! The rooms we changed to were ideal, as we were two couples travelling together. Views in these rooms although limited we could still see the water.

    Good sized room with added bonus of cooking facilities. Close to supermarket. Great location for walking on the Strand or to food choices.
