Perfect location, near all the restaurants and stores. Our room was on the ground floor and very cosy and comfortable. We had a kitchen that was well equipped for a short stay. Beds were soft and comfy. The whole property is very traditional cottage style which was very cute. Gas fireplace in the living room was a nice touch. Staff were friendly and helpful and gave us good directions to the beach. We enjoyed our stay.
