We made a last minute booking. It was a great price, had smiley staff & he was welcoming. They held another room for me the next night which we confirmed quite late. So, we appreciated having somewhere to stay. We really enjoyed the spa bath & fwkt it was great value for money. Thanks 😉

Friendly Owner and Value for Money

Sunny, the owner, was friendly and accommodating to several requests from us. We think he gave us the potatoe masher from his own home. Kitchen equipment enabled us to cook all our meals in the room (everything but oven). TV had lots of great channels and could swivel to different parts of the room. Beds felt new in No.5 and the kitchen looked modern. Bathroom and toilet looked a bit dated but were nice and clean. Housecleaning came everyday. Pool isnt maintained in Winter but looks like it would be nice for a Summer swim. We would stay here again.

Room was clean but small, dated and worn. Tv did not work and when we realised, office was closed so could not be fixed. Outside lights were turned off so pitch black when we walked back to the unit at night.
