Fresh choice is about a 6min walk and activities are also in walking proximity. Family friendly staff was really accommodating. I have booked for my return in a few weeks. Owner is hospitable and a big heart Thank you Nicci Fitzgerald for allowing me to use your gas stove at your other backpackers place much appreciated 😍
I came back from my outdoor activity and walked into the fire blaring with warmth. Just what I needed being out on the water for 6hours. Thanks Luke & Chris

Late checkin was smooth. I loved the size of spa tub and it felt great - but there were no instructions , I couldn't get it to turn on. So, I enjoyed a relaxing soak. Location was convenient to restaurants, shops and the sea.

The most comfortable beds and beddings. So clean and fresh- nice and new. Smelt nice. One suggestion is to have a fan in the room as there was no air flow and I was hot. Floors creeked above me and walls were thin so I could hear people. This kept me up and woke me up. Overall the place was nice.
