A great stay

A lovely, welcome from the owner who provided plenty of information on where to eat and facilities in the town. The room was a little dated but spotlessly clean, had everything we needed including a great night’s sleep in the very comfortable bed. Plenty of parking right outside the room and a great location close to the beach and a short walk to the shops and restaurants.

We had a lovely clean upstairs room which was perfect for our needs. The parking was very conveniently located near our room. The owner at check in was super friendly and informative about what we should see in the area. The restaurant we had chosen for dinner was only a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Overall, we had a terrific stay at the Pelican’s Nest.
