“Cheap but GREAT accommodation”
02 Jan 2025
We stayed 3 nights in a family room. The rooms are very basic but that's what we paid for. It is clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of fridge space. Location is perfect.we walked to the beach, restaurants and town. Couldn't have asked for a better location. I was nervous about noise level over new years but actually my 7 and 9 year old were the noise makers. We would definitely recommend this place. The owners are lovely.
