Do not book this property. The listing images appear to be completely fabricated using AI generation or extreme digital enhancement and they look absolutely nothing like the reality. The entire property has a heavy, overwhelming smell of damp, making it a major health hazard and an absolute scam. There was extensive black mold covering the entire side of the bed base covered over with a sheet, mold on the shower curtain and active water damage on the bathroom ceiling and the wallpaper has been painted over and is coming off the wall due likely due to severe dampness. The listing completely omits critical details: the bathroom is actually located outside, entirely opposite the room, which was never mentioned online. On top of that, the host completely rations basic amenities - we were left with only one toilet roll and one single small towel each just to shower with. The room itself is heavily scuffed, worn and completely unmaintained. We checked out immediately after discovering the mould for our own health and safety. To make matters worse, the host refused a full refund and tried to offer a pathetic £50 token refund for a two-night stay which I am currently appealing. Expedia has been notified with full photographic and video evidence of the entire property. Avoid this place at all costs!

Accueil très chaleureux pour nous, mais aussi pour notre petit chien. Le logement est très spacieux avec le coin nuit et une deuxième pièce comportant un grand salon et kitchenette. Salle de bain convenable. Breakfast à l'anglaise délicieux et copieux pris dans une magnifique salle à manger et servi par une hôtesse toujours souriante. Le logement est proche du centre ville et du port (environ 10 minutes à pied). A propos de ce logement, il est à noter qu'il y a des places de parking dans la cour.
