The balcony is an added bonus for when the weather is better for outdoor dining. Would thoroughly recommend staying here & we will certainly be back again

Good kitchen amenities. The location meant it can be noisy as it is on the main road. The en-suite bathroom had an unpleasant smelly initially. Once the shower was used, the smell was better.

The kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved the balcony with the table and chairs, and the beautiful view. Yes, there is some traffic noise from early in the morning, but this is a few noisy vehicles, rather than a constant stream. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
