Tucked away and quiet. This is a fantastic place to stay with all the facilities you could want. Super comfy wonderfully big bed and fabulous shower. Fully equipped kitchen and modern decor. The only downsides I can come up with are: if you want to walk into town there is an extremely steep hill to navigate (wouldn’t recommend trying to go down it in heels!) The other which is very minor, there are no supplied toiletries.We would definitely recommend staying here and won’t hesitate to book again.
