    Well-situated above the town and near a great vewpoint. Yet only 10 min walk into the centre. The owner is very helpful.

    We had to make a booking on short notice due to an amber weather warning. The owner was very welcoming and allowed us to drop off bicycles and bags in the morning. Bicycles can be stored in a garage. Despite stating that there was no breakfast...

    Located a 15 min walk from the town centre (steep!). Parking for my motorcycle was possible on the pavement, with a car you had to park 3 min away. Room was spacious, clean and very quiet. Shared bathroom was also clean. Good!

    We didn't expect breakfast, so finding cereal and proper milk, plus fruit juice, yoghurt and cereal bars was a lovely surprise. It also meant we could eat it before going for the early ferry. Location ideal for getting to the ferry easily.
