Reviewed Aug 9, 2026Location was great, easy walking to town and seafront and wharf. Friendly host, and good communication on check in.
Whilst superficially clean, in need of a deep clean. Curtain in bathroom had a rip and dubious stain. Cooking facilities were adequate but in need of upgrade as seen better days. Cooker was temperamental.

Reviewed Jan 20, 2026We found the place comfortable and in a good location. The bedrooms, lounge, and kitchen were practical and had what we needed, and we slept well during our stay. Overall, we enjoyed being there.
I expected a higher level of maintenance. The privacy curtain in the shower room had a rip, which I reported to the owner and he said a new one is being ordered. The kitchen extractor fan grill was sticky with visible grease, and the main entry door was sticking, which made going in and out inconvenient. The owner mentioned a builder was meant to fix it earlier, but it would have been good if this had been checked before guests arrived. There was also noticeable plumbing noise from the upstairs shower. None of these issues were major individually, but together they affected the overall impression.
9/10
Reviewed Jan 19, 2026Fabulous location - easy walking distances to restaurants, cafes, bars and beach. The upstairs apartment has a generous deck and with sea views!

The sink in the bathroom is quite handy with the depth when you need to rinse off sands from the togs. The washing machine in the bathroom is a win too. Kitchen amenities are complete and have everything we need. It is a lovely stay and kids enjoyed it so do we. Very comfortable 3 nights stay and host Neil is lovely too. Thank you for hosting us.
