Charming Stay with Unique Touches

friendly staffconvenient locationquiet room
The staff was friendly and cute to my dog, which I appreciated. The location proved to be very convenient because the hotel is close to a beach. I slept very well because the room was quiet. I enjoyed the excellent breakfast with a vegan option. They even cooked a sausage for the dog.
On a minor note, the cups were not replaced one day, also the bathroom didn't appear to be wiped. Shampoo hadn't been replenished.

Our beautiful double room seemed like a step back in time, due to the furnishings it contained. The bathroom presented with a more modern design that contrasted with the rest of the room. The room was spacious and matched the photos provided.

Parking was available at the rear of the hotel, which I found to be a bonus. The hotel exudes an unusual character and feels very quirky. The hotel offers gluten-free food that is as good as it gets.
