Upstairs has a queen-size bed and plenty of built-in storage. Double wood-plank oak doors lead to the bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower and built in cabinetry.
Visitors enjoy use of the communal garden offering excellent harbour views Less than a handful of minutes' walk takes you to town centre with it's renowned restaurants and many other historic attractions.
