Simon's cosy house, 3 mins from Bangor Marina

This bright, clean and spacious house is right in the town centre, near to cafes, marina and parks, and literally two mins from the bus/train station. I would be delighted to welcome people from all backgrounds to enjoy my place and its little garden and patio, and use it as a base for exploring all that our coastal area has to offer, from our own cafes and local festival events, through little bays and beaches to the buzz of Belfast with the Titanic centre and nightlife.
