​

 The Old Newsagent was truly beautiful, tastefully decorated and loved the subtle nautical theme. Was immaculately clean and everything you could think of for your stay was there. The location was perfect, it was central to all restaurants and shops. Would totally recommend this holiday destination to friends and family. We had a wonderful time away, thank you. Amber
