Authentic Charm by the Sea

helpful staff sea location quality food cosy pub
The staff seemed helpful and were always smiling. The location was directly by the sea, a plus for me. I enjoyed the restaurant. The food had good quality. The main pub felt really cozy.
The room seemed a bit dated and could use some freshening up, I think.

fabulous location friendly staff generous portions isolated room clothing space tidy room
the location is fabulous, it overlooks the cove. the staff are so friendly, it was a delight! breakfast had generous portions, it was really filling.
my room was detached from the main building, it was not very isolated. there was no way to hang wet clothing items, that was not ideal. the room was not as tidy as i hoped, its such a pity.

The location worked well for my weekend! I really enjoyed the iconic pub. The staff members were lovely and very engaging. It was a plus.
The corridor had a musty smell, I noticed. The bar as well. My bedroom was a small size. The TV was probably the smallest one I have seen in accommodations.
