Mel was a great host and the place was perfect for us. Easy walking distance to the seafront and Cannery Row, good parking, quiet neighbourhood, fantastic space to relax in in the garden, lots of character and the games room and swing made it very child friendly. The four poster bed was so comfortable - very welcome after a long flight. Nothing to fault our stay. Mel was very helpful in hosting us, and even understood our English panic when we thought we couldn't make a cup of tea (didn't realise the coffee maker also did hot water!). The Aquarium tickets were an added bonus and really appreciated.
