“The location is a genuine asset, mere minutes from the cliff and its views, while the caretaker's attentiveness stands out. I noted some comments around ongoing construction, yet the rooms appear clean and functional; bear in mind breakfast isn't on site. Overall, a serviceable spot for those prioritizing location.”
