Sam who was doing work around the car park was also really nice and really helpful. The room itself was perfect - comfortable bed, great selection of teas and I loved the decor of the bathroom. The location was perfect, too - so close walking distance to everything: restaurants, cafes, the beach, and all the tourist attractions. I only wish I could have stayed longer but I didn't have time in my itinerary. I will have to come back, would stay here again in a heartbeat, and I would highly recommend it to anyone."
