5.8 out of 10, (7 reviews)
"Very cute little spot to stay. Unfortunately the check in details were a bit off and there's no staff on site. We were given a front door code and a room code. The front door code did not work but eventually we figured out the room code works on both doors. The wifi information we were given was also incorrect. Not the best water for showering and the beds were very creamy and noisy. All things considered we still loved the property. Great value and a very cool spot."
