“I found the location quite pleasant, especially the walk to the town center along the seafront. The host's warmth truly made it feel like a home away from home, and I particularly appreciated the nautical theme throughout. Add to that the convenience of the free car park and a hearty breakfast, and it makes for a very pleasant stay.”
