Good value for money
Good location, just a short walk from the arty shops, with some lovely walks, beaches and fantastic scenery. Accommodation good value, and nice to overlook the gardens. A wardrobe and bedside tables would have been welcome additions as there was very little provision for getting clothing out of cases, but the rest of the facilities were good.

8/10 Very good

Inside was clean and had good beds. A couple of extra things in the kitchen would be helpful like a fish slice but was great to have paper towels when cooking. Outside maintenance was a little tired but nice courses area for kids to play. Our front door was quite sticky to open.
