Minor Issues Impacted My Stay

slow servicecheckout delay
The staff neglected to replace the biscuits after the first day. This was a small detail I noticed. Service at the bar and restaurant was very slow I waited a long time. I asked to split the restaurant bill between rooms. The staff seemed unwilling initially. Checkout involved unnecessary delays because charges were not moved between rooms as requested I was frustrated.

i liked the breakfast very much. it was delicious on both days. the dining room provided a lovely view especially, made morning meals quite good. i also thought the staff were great, very friendly and helpful during my whole stay.
the menu felt limited because the full options, including dessert, werent available when i sat outside, this was frustrating because i was comfortable and settled in that area.

A seaside gem

friendly atmosphereseaview roomgreat choice
I found a REALLY cute atmosphere. The seaview room offered a LOVELY vista. The bar also presented a great view, coupled with a wide array of ales, and other drinks.
A slight downside was that the bed felt somewhat low to the ground, Though the room itself was quite large.
Dining

The restaurant features elegant decor with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water. I observed fresh seafood options on the menu, alongside classic dishes. The breakfast buffet offered plentiful choices, such a nice start to the day.
