The location was superb. It was a short walk to the calming water and restaurants. my room included thoughtful touches, such as welsh cakes and a lovely bottle of wine upon my arrival. the continental breakfast provided in the room was gorgeous, offering fresh fruit and croissants. i borrowed an umbrella from the porch when it rained. Such a great service!
the wifi signal wasn't very strong, a bit difficult to connect at times.
