Southern Cross Guest House

Southern Cross Guest House

8/10 Good
"Southern Cross was a quaint place to stay in, thatched building with sloping floors and uneven walls, typical of a very old building. The room was a little dark and the only point i would criticise was the ensuite had no wash basin in it as there was one in the room itself. But not very hygienic after using the toilet! Lovely staff and lovely breakfast."
