solid stay near town

host kim was very communicative before arrival. i got offered a lower floor room because of the stairs. the room has a beautiful view from the window and everything i needed was there. the location is convenient for getting to town, as a solo traveller, i felt safe.
the wall heater took a little while to heat the room.

this place is close to the harbour, shops and everything you need. it overlooks the bay, so the view is worth it. free parking is possible outside, but follow the parking permit instructions carefully.

The room had a fantastic view. The owner was very friendly, he was. I also enjoyed the kippers at breakfast, they were great. I liked the size of the room.
My room had very low ceiling. It was also on the top floor, so I needed to go up many stairs. Carrying luggage up and down was not fun.
