cozy barfriendly teamprofessional team
The breakfast was fabulous! I really enjoyed the perfectly cooked food. The team was professional and friendly, doing everything they could to help. The bar was also very cozy, and the food served there was great!
The building is old, so the decor looks a little tired and worn. Though it was still okay.

The location was great, with a short walk to both the sea and the town. i appreciated the sofa outside and the convenient outside eating area. parking facilities across the road were also good. It made arrival stress-free.
i prefer wifi access without needing to log in with my details. it would make connecting devices quicker. simpler wifi access would definitely improve the experience.
