Located right by the Esplanade and close to the shops, so it's convenient to pop out for a stroll or a bit of shopping. You can also easily walk to the town center from here. It's a really nice spot to spend time during the winter months - cozy vibes all around! ❄️

Everything was great, excellant location by over grown garden, the stuff were OBLIGING. The room was spotless with very comfortable beds, separate bedroom plus cooking facilities, had the best night sleep.
Nothing, no complaints at all.

Great location, just a short walk from the town center. the staff here are super helpful and friendly - they went above and beyond for us. Loved that when we arrived, our room was all set up with a separate bedroom. 🌟

The owners were really friendly and once they discovered that my elderly parents were to be separated into a location involving a slope, they moved us all into two adjoining family units at no extra cost - nothing was too much trouble.

Friendly staff, functional and clean rooms, nice quality linen. Small but excellent value for money
A suggestion install a rangehood in the kitchen, given it is a very small space it filled with smoke and cooking smells very quickly, had to have every window open.

Great location;nice pool and friendly front desk.
The unit we were in badly needeed a facelift; it was bordering on shabby and the bathroom was scruffy - curtains were falling off,tatty towels etc. Both bedrooms were seriously squashed. Poor value for an expensive break.
