Great stay.

Very good stay and easy walk to beach. Check in and out simple and easy. Simple room but met our needs. Clean room and comfortable bed. Be nice if there was a microwave in the room but had a fridge, kettle, toaster and some cutlery. A larger kitchen was available in the complex. No laundry in site. Pleasant surprise in that a small caravan on site opens in morning to sell coffee and pastries. Easy parking. Will stay there again.
