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.

The toilet seat was broken and wobbled when used. The lighting in the room was of poor quality. I couldn't read inside. The fridge had a very loud noisy click at odd times. Just a few simple things that could be fixed without too much cost. Otherwise it was fine.
