Awesome watching all the boats going in and out. Not so good at 4am tho. The single beds were great the double was as hard as rock. That bed is the only downfall.

Seaside Bach
Clean and tidy seaside bach, has been modernized, the online description said there was wifi but that was incorrect. The floor is uneven which is what you could expect from a bach of this age, loved the location. Would stay again
