    Great location in nice quiet residential area 2min walk from the canoe lake and bus stop right outside, helpful and friendly staff especially at breakfast. Felt the deco was on the cheap but certainly cheerful, and noticed wall paper job particularly neat! Bedding and bathroom were great, overall enjoyed our 1 night stay.

    Great location on a quiet road but minutes from all amenities. Allocated on site parking. Not swanky but honest, very clean accommodation at a good price with all that's needed - dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, pots, pans crockery and utensils, TV, wi-fi, musical instruments and lots of games. The host was very amenable and responds quickly. We would be very happy to book again.

    This is a comfortable Guest House situated in a great location close to the seafront. The single room was small, as advertised, but it was comfortable and had an ensuite bathroom. The host was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast excellent.
