You get what you pay for

DIY noise into the evening. Tiny room with a giant sofa in it which is unnecessary. Shower was faulty - ran hot for 10 seconds then cold for 30 seconds, repeatedly. Banging sounds until the early hours of the morning, hence only 2 hours sleep so tired for an important meeting. The above caused me to leave a day early - no refund, of course!

We had a lovely stay at Shenandoah. The host was lovely and so accommodating of everything that we needed. There was a general breakfast room where we could have our takeout dinner and our room was very clean and comfortable.

A lovely little local gem, 5 mins from the beach and lovely walks, feels a bit like a home away from home and Jim, the owner, could not be more accomodating. I had a poorly 7 year old and 2 year old with me and he made their stay superb too. Cheers Jim, we will be back.

A good base

Inn-keeper Jim was a fantastic host. Friendly and helpful with the kids. The room was exactly as described. It could have done with darker curtains (as in to keep out the morning light). The shower was grand, took a moment to get it to work as expected but we got there.
