Everything was excellent, Bathroom can just do with a bit of an upgrade as it's very unattractive compared to rest of the room. The shower is also not suitable for tall people.

Have stayed here before and thoroughly enjoyed it, hence my return with 4 family members. The rooms are soacious and the bed enormous and comfy, clean, if a little tired. Sadly due to very antisocial neighbours, leaving two dogs unattended in the room barking for several hours until late in the evening this has put me off future stays although this is not the propertys fault. It's a shame though but we did enjoy Snell's Beach and surrounding area

The room was spacious, however the bathroom could have had a vent as opening the bathroom window when showering at night attracted a lot of bugs. Rooms were warm and comfy beds.
