Excellent Stay With Amazing Breakfast

luxurious linenshomemade parfaitsnarrow road
I found the room very clean and well maintained. The bed linens felt luxurious and new. Breakfast each morning included fresh smoothies and homemade parfaits. Robert and Richard offer a very good level of service, very grateful.
The road to the hotel proved narrow, and the parking on the drive required careful maneuvering. It caused some stress upon arrival.
Dining

The breakfast included custom smoothies. A yogurt-fruit-granola parfait, and a bowl of mixed berries were also served. Eggs were cooked to order, and side options of meats and breads complete the menu.
Location

The towns coastline paths are very close. Many unique attractions lie within a short drive. The hotel sits up a long hill. It is something to consider if you have mobility issues.

I spent three nights in a double room with a private bathroom. The art around the house impressed me. Their knowledge of local attractions and restaurants proved useful.
The road up to the building is very narrow.
