Thames

10/10 Excellent

This was our second stay. The accommodation is conveniently located just North of Thames. It is a short five minute drive into town. The view from the room to the sea is nice. The room is spacious. The balcony/deck - which also connects to the neighbouring rooms with a table and two chairs is nice and spacious, too. We do like the small kitchen to prepare our own breakfast and fridge to store chilled and frozen goods. The staff is friendly and accomodating.
