Was really nice!

quiet area comfortable bed blackout blinds local knowledge

The hotel is in a quiet area near shops and a park. The beach is a short walk away (about 10 minutes). The beds were comfortable, and I found the blackout blinds very useful. Everything was clean and well kept. I appreciated the host's local knowledge. He offered tips on places to visit.

Parking was difficult because the street was busy.

good size nice bathroom drinks facilities limited parking extra cost nearby car park

The room was a good size. It had a very good bed and a nice sized bathroom. Drinks making facilities were available, as well as a hairdryer.

Parking was very limited. I had to pay extra to park in a nearby car park (a cost i did not fully anticipate). I think the guesthouse should compensate for this cost, at least partially.
