Beautiful clean and tidy room, even better having a ground floor suite with a King bed. Great to have an on site laundry to use to catch up on some washing and drying. Only 1 very small minor thing, the shower curtains didn't go all the way to the floor. All in all it was a great place to stay in a very handy location and our host was super helpful.

The room was spacious, with good light coming in. The bathroom was also generously big and very clean. It had an electric hot plate/stove and came with cups, plates, silverware, and microwave. Parking is on the property. The property itself is close to the beach and main attractions of the town. It is a great value place.
