Their own electric transport collected us from the station and returned us back there - although it is not far to walk [15mins] and super restaurants can be found in 5-10 min walk. You do not need the car as all activities, shops and restaurants are walkable - which was fantastic. We lived our stay here and would definitely recommend."
