Great hostel with access to grassy area for BBQ

Amazing location with beautiful back garden & access to private jetty. Garden and outdoor facilities such as relaxing chairs facing the water, BBQ, picnic tables and grassy area are all very well maintained. Internal windows only have blinds which allow sun to light the room in the morning. A little inconvenience if you would like to sleep in during your stay at the hotel. Carpets also have stains and dont feel clean so we were wearing our indoor slippers all the time. Apart from those, we enjoyed our stay and will come again next time. Thank you for hosting us during our Easter holiday.
