Lovely staff and overall happy with our stay. I already recommended it to my friends and family.

It has an EV charger and stunning view

I suggest placing a reasonable-sized sign that states EV car park only. I knocked on everyone’s door at the property looking for the owner of the non-EV car who parks at the EV charger space. Luckily, the car owner was apologetic and moved his car immediately so I could charge my PHEV vehicle.

Cleanliness, location, kitchen, 2 beds, value for money. Ground floor was great, as I have an injury. Everything you could need.

Bathroom door didn't slide, but didn't matter for us.
