I loved the room. Very comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast was enjoyable. Less than 10 minutes slow walk to the water front.

Great stay, lovely breakfast and good location.

10.0

The hosts were lovely and very helpful when we needed an earlier breakfast due to our commitments. The breakfast was very good too, can't fault anything really.

If I were to be a little picky, we struggled on the double bed being quite bouncy, when my wife fidgets (which she does tend to do) the movement transferred easily to my side of the bed waking me up. We often choose twin beds for this reason but some double beds are quite hard and ok for us. It's a small thing but I would definitely stay here again.
