It was just what my dad and I were looking for: a well-valued twin room by the sea. With a TV, microwave, mini-fridge (with breakfast inside) and a kettle, Rachel really has made sure everything is covered despite the small space. The bathroom was spotless – and the patio on the river is a pleasant surprise. Close by, there’s a great pub and a stunning beach within minutes. Rachel is a superb host and replied to us within minutes every time. read less
