Broadhaven Road

"The room was small but immaculately clean. It was ideal for a one night stay. I met Peter, the owner, and he was very helpful with regards getting about and recommending local places to eat. There was ample parking outside too. Whilst the other guests weren’t in any way noisy, unfortunately the walls are very thin and I could hear the slightest noise very clearly."
