5 minute slight down hill walk to Tourist Information Centre and the waterfront.
Free parking provided in nearby Council Carpark, with the use of a permit form provided by host which you place on the dashboard. Smallish room.
Cramped toilet and shower with washbasin in the main section of the room-it seemed to work well.

La pareja que lo gestiona son muy amables y agradables, y están pendientes de todo. No hay nada que no nos gustase
