For a small, older style accommodation, it has been tastefully renovated with beautiful finishes and a comfortable bed. The place was full but we did not hear any noise from other travellers. We received a call asking us our expected arrival time. Our flight had been delayed so we were possibly not going to meet the 6pm check in time. The manager sent us details to access our room key which was very easy to understand. A perfect stay. Thanks!

Hi Michael, it was lovely having you stay with us. Our bath mat towels are provided by the professional linen company. Do you think we require something else? Thanks for your review.

5 out of 5
Everything was very clean. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of towels were provided. There was a coffee machine and pods, kettle, iron, bar fridge etc. It was a safe location and a quick walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The host was extremely helpful and always responded promptly.

Thank you Anthony for your 10/10 review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed our stay, location & cleanliness. We offer both face to face or contactless check-in & check-outs. When not in the office, away from the property, assisting another guest or after hours our reception door remains closed with a doorbell to press for assistance at anytime. That really isn't a polite or appropriate comment to write about the employee doing her job. Thank you again for your feedback. Regards, Blue Heron Thank
