Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a lovely place to stay with a charming touch of a small bottle of wine included. The shower was refreshing, and the balcony offered a splendid view. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, providing top-notch service. The location by the beach was simply perfect. The dining experience was delightful with homemade biscuits. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and had an en-suite shower, but the external WC was a bit inconvenient. I appreciated the good quality towels that were changed regularly, adding a nice touch to the room's character.
The hotel is in a wonderful location, with brilliant breakfast and nice little touches in the rooms. The service was very helpful and welcoming, giving great service. The proximity to the beach adds to the appeal, although the clothes hanging area does pose a slight inconvenience. The dining experience offers various options and the facilities are top-notch.
