Exactly as advertised. The stairs were a great challenge for the hip replacement, I came away with a good functioning hip. Learnt to ride my bike again. Enjoyed the bike trail plus the wee restaurant on the corner. The low ceiling caused the 6 footer a few adverse reactions but he got used to it, All in all a great holiday.

What a neat place
It was really nice to walk in and fine a cosy home for our 2 nights stay. Well equipped kitchen and everything was well arranged / thoughtful touches. So close to the beach and the coffee shop - there was so much to do and see - eg the seal colonies. We’ll stay again. Thanks

Good location, poor layout
I thought this property would be quirky but it was just shoddy. The stairs felt unsafe, it had a hemmed in feeling and was really stuffy with no nice windows to look out. The furnishings were really ugly and tatty. I wouldn't recommend this as a place to stay with children under 5 or if you are taller than 165cm. The location is good and it was clean. The cafe around the corner is a greta place to eat.

Ideal Spot
All was good, some aspects a bit quirky and may not suit everyone. In particular the sloping lower ceiling and the TV set up. Thanks Alistair
