Feb 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short Break by the sea Modern, warm, very comfortable, all amenities provided. As it was a late booking, and we had 2 of my friends who had mobility problems, they found the steep stairs a challenge, especially the entrance to the top of the staircase. It was really lovely to be so central to the facilities at the harbour. ##### Margaret B.
