Clean, simple, no frills, but just what I needed. Hot water, strong shower, clean and comfy bed, quiet. For a last minute place to get my head down for two nights, or was spot on. Free parking around too.

    The apartment was cosy and spacious with soft beds,big windows,no issues ,working TV. Everything worked what we used in the kitchen. The bed sheets were clean and plenty towels. Free car space just outside. (Very handy!) 5 min walk to the sea side with very tasty THE CROWN INN just on the round about. Beautiful scenery and polite neighbourhood. Everything was perfect, my friend, and I really enjoyed this stay! ❤️❤️❤️ would definitely come back! 😁

    From the very beginning the welcome and friendliness of the staff was amazing. I arrived late at night and received a warm welcome. I stayed for 3 nights and each morning was greeted with a wonderful and delicious fully cooked breakfast which was included in the price. The location is perfect just being a 5-10 minute walk from the beach and 8 minutes walk to the Metro Station in the town centre.. There are plenty of places to eat out on the same street too. I would highly recommend this guest house to anyone.
