Well appointed accommodation
We stayed for a few days and couldn’t be happier with our accommodation at Sails. The room was full of everything we needed, even herbal teas and coffee machine - real milk each day too. It was convenient to shops and restaurants and the the owners were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Excellent property! Staff were so friendly, room was absolutely spotless. We especially loved the breakfast room service which was quite a treat! The massive tv was so nice to have to watch a movie in bed after a long day. Really impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was. I liked the added touch of the milk bottle in the fridge instead of the long life milk you normally find. Definitely would recommend staying here, great location and good parking.
