"The room was clean. The receptionist was very polite and helpful. A very nice spot on the headland with great views. Short walk to the beach. We were rather disappointed that there was no lift in a 3 storey building. Difficult lifting suitcases up 2 flights of stairs. I didn’t notice that in the property description when I booked."
