Beautiful view and very convenient location. Gordon was very welcoming and helpful.

Only down side was the very busy road that took a little away from the peace and tranquility. However this is understandably the sacrifice you make for being in an accessible location.

Exceptional location, Gordon's welcome, the place felt like home away from home

The shower pressure could be looked at; however, the bath tub made up for what the shower lacked.

I loved the Seaview and big comfortable bed. The room was spacious and clean - lots of cupboard space

No windows that can be opened and no aircon. During the night the room gets quite warm
