Meanwhile, The Old Police Station surprises visitors with its deceptive exterior, revealing a bright and airy interior upon entry. Designed on a split level, this newly developed holiday home comfortably accommodates four guests, with a king-size double bedroom featuring an ensuite and a twin bedroom on the lower level.
