Great location and amenities. However, road noise through single glazed windows and a noisy neighbour above was the only downside. Suggest bringing ear plugs but otherwise, everything else was perfect.

Wear good walking shoes and be careful of the sun - burns easily. Have a jacket in case the wind is cool. Even on sunny days.

5/5 - Excellent
