Only downside was the rain,but you take a chance in november. Had a lovely day sitting on the Quay drinking in the sea air whilst munching fish and chips. Recommending to friends and family.

An amazing place to stay with nice views of the harbour. Probably more suited to families as it sleeps 6 so a little pricey for just two people in the summer season. We didn’t use the car for 5 days as you can walk to any where and it was a place you can’t help but relax.
