Charming Stay Close to Everything

easy access ample parking hot water quality biscuits

The location allowed easy access to the ferry and the main parts of town. It was a short walk. Parking was available right in front. The room was cute and the hot water plentiful. Coffee and quality biscuits were available in the room.

The sound insulation was not great. I could hear some noise from the plumbing.
