we made mistake of booking place with just one bed. Lucky, we didn't mind sharing. Worst thing was the noisy seagulls walking on roof. Sounded like people were jumping around just above us. Couldn't believe the noise they generated. Because of this didn't sleep well. Next time will ask for different room. Previous two times we visited we have had no problems at all.

10/10 Exceptional

Our family room was ideal with two single beds on the mezzanine level giving space and privacy. The property was in process of renovating and upgrading rooms one by one but ours was more than adequate and the kitchen facility and breakfast bar meant we didn’t have to balance plates on our laps!. The location was ideal with our granddaughter just a 5 minute walk away, and we explored the city on foot. Driving further afield was easy too. The staff were very welcoming and everything was very clean.
