  • Danny

    2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is an ideal set up. Close enough to the town centre to walk to but out the way enough to not be caught up in the hustle and bustle (one thing to be aware of is that the description of 'a mainly level walk to the town centre') is not entirely accurate! as you will definitely be improving your leg muscles on the hills & steps down and up to the beaches and the town centre! Would definitely stay here again - thank you for a great stay.

  • Paul

    Good position for town 5-10min walk although it is up hill. Would definitely book again

  • Corinne
