The property was in a convenient part of town and was affordable. However, no staff person was present either for my checkin (5pm) and checkout (8am) so a long-term resident had to help me check in and I just left the key in the room for the check out. Additionally the bedding was stained and not very clean.

Location is Key
We booked and stayed for 1 night and it was worth the price...Old and Eclectic style, a bit much in some areas. Pleasant staff, a fan provided as no air-con and a lovely view of the ocean. The shower was a bit dodgy and leaked after use...towels and bedding had some stains (all white so easy to spot)...bar-fridge was placed precariously on a stool under the TV Due to Covid, no breakfast was served but overall experience was fine.
loads of mirrors in the room!

Peaceful Accommodation
We had a very pleasant stay. Extremely relaxing seeing as both the neighborhood and Manor is very peaceful and quiet. A little disappointed that the website indicates breakfast included, unfortunately upon arrival it was made clear there is no breakfast. Other than that, excellent stay. Highly recommended.

Amazing place to stay, has a lot of character. Friendly and quick check in. I stayed in room 8 on the top floor with amazing views. Winter is cold and wet, so bring along a hot water bottle for bed. Will definitely stay here again
