Small noisy room avoid!!!!
Pros:

The location! Was only 100m or so to the beach. Room was very clean and house keeping was beyond helpful.

Cons:

Boathouse double is smaller than the twin room, for the same price. You could only just get past the bed, there was only one window that opened onto the noisy street, and there was a store facility beneath us that the staff accessed early and loudly, with no thought we were trying to sleep just above. Do not book this room!!!!!

Great location in comfy room
Pros:

Bright clean good size with two windows for a through breeze, essential in this hot weather. Small window gave sea view. Be sure to book Boat house room 2 which is this one, room one smaller and airless with street noise, these are same price.

Cons:

Nothing with room 2
