We love this place, have stayed twice now. It is conveniently close to the coast walks and food and shops in town. Very quiet street, nice parking, it feels very safe. The Garden is so beautiful and lush, we all enjoyed multiple walks around looking at all the different plants. Heather is very kind and we enjoyed talking with her.
