The accommodation was clean and comfortable, unfortunately we found some very disgusting utensils in the draw. A potato masher with potato stuck in the grooves and the most disgusting wooden spoon I have ever seen. Luckily for us we didn't intend to do any cooking as the location of the property was literally a 5 minute walk to some great pubs and restaurants.

Handy location

Unit is downstairs with one above. Sign in house advises that sound travels easily between the units. Would have been good to know this before booking. Just hope the guests above aren't party people or have elephant feet. 5 nin walj yo lots of eateries pubs and the jetties for cruises.

We have stayed here lots of times.

We have stayed here lots of times. Very happy to always go back however prices in the summer are far too high. it is classed as for 4 people but we have only ever been 2 as making a settee into a bed would really restrict movement in the room. Crockery is minimal and this time one of the plates and a mug had a crack through them however i left them out and am sure they will be replaced. There is no internet but you can use your hotspot as the signal was good. Great location as very near the centre yet the road is super quiet. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Our favourite place for a short break.

Our favourite place for a short break. We must have been here at least 6 times and it suits our needs. Only 2 of us and the dog but would be squashed with 4.
