"The rooms were clean and serviceable. It was near the beach, shops and walks, which were important to us. The only problem we found, or should l say, the driver found was that the drive was very narrow indeed, especially when you consider how large the majority of the cars are now. He did feel you should put the measurements on the this listing."
