A really nice and friendly place right near the harbour. It is charming and the service is great. The room was small but really nice and the whole place has a very family feel to it. Would highly recommend this wonderful little place to anyone. We loved it. The breakfast was really nice as well.

Comfortable Stay
Pros:

Really well renovated house. I stayed in the top floor, single room and found a well thought out floor plan. I especially liked the bathroom.
The staff was friendly. Breakfast in the morning was exceptional with smoothie! Location central with everything within walking distance.

Cons:

It's a historical house so no lift. I had no problems carrying everything to the top floor and the staff offered assistance.
