  • Tracy

    Good sized rooms, furnished well, clean, tidy and fresh. Great shower and plenty of hot water. Kitchen had plenty of pans, plates etc. Outside seating was nice and sunny. Parking outside the house from late pm to mid morning was absolutely fine, we did buy a parking permit for multiple car parks to make sure parking wasnt a problem. Great location for shops, beaches annd walks.
