tired room heating system
the full english breakfast tasted good and the young staff serving were polite.
the room was not cute upon arrival. it felt small and somewhat tired. the double bed seemed to have been repaired at some point , and the heating system was difficult to regulate , causing the room to either overheat or become cold.

excellent stay, a true gem

family room delicious breakfast convenient parking
The family room was perfect and spacious. breakfast was delicious every morning. the owners were helpful and friendly. the location is perfect, especially because it is close to the beach, only a short walk away. there's plenty of on-site parking, a definite plus. the room was ready early. We appreciated that. cutlery and plates were provided for takeaway food.
the curtains across the patio doors are quite thin and let light in from dawn.

Underwhelming Stay. Breakfast Service Lacked Attention

The location proved convenient.
The breakfast service lacked attentiveness, and the staff mostly ignored me. It seemed like pulling teeth to get any assistance.

charming stay near the beach

direct access garden breakfast pre-arrival communication perfect location
the room had direct access to the outside, a great feature for my dog. breakfast in the garden with my dog was a lovely experience. staff contacted me before arrival to sort out all my needs.. this put me at ease. the location was perfect for a morning walk on the beach.
The curtains were quite thin. They let in a lot of light early in the morning.
