Fantastic stay with excellent breakfast

locally sourced itemsquiet atmospheretepid water
I needed a comfortable place for a few nights, and i found it. The breakfast was great (especially the locally sourced items!). The staff were super obliging with requests. I also appreciated the quiet atmosphere inside and outside. The sound of the sea at night was a welcome way to drift off to sleep.
I did notice a slight issue, the shower water was less than tepid. The shower tray was also very slow to clear. I would have informed someone but there was never anyone around the reception (or any paper and pens to leave a comment).

The hotel provides self-service for keys. You can get on with your day, but the staff were definitely present if needed. Wi-fi is available throughout the building. The hotel is a short walk from the beach.
