Cozy little guesthouse close to the waterfront
We stayed three nights and would definitely come again.Everything is brandnew and our host got out of his way to organise everything that was still missing (like extra blankets, chairs).The kitchen is fully equipped,

We enjoyed our stay. I did book thinking it had a dryer and washing machine as listed but once I had booked the information I received stated no laundry facilities. She did say she would correct it on the description. I see it’s a new property so maybe some tips for future guests, hand towels are a must in bathroom, we were drying our hand on little face cloths, hangers in wardrobe and a welcome book with wifi info would add nice little touches.
