Traffic noise not a problem for us. Would recommend a visit to Berry Head Hotel for a coffee and great views. Would definitely book again in the future.

However, we are in our 70's and would have liked some handles to aid getting in and out of the shower. We did find it difficult to sleep there due to the property being on the corner of a very busy crossroads with traffic lights and a pedestrian crossing made it very noisy from 5am to past midnight. Maybe some sound proofing would help.
