a heartwarming stay

easy accessprivate parkinghonesty barshort walk
the location allowed easy access to both the town and the scenic coastal path. private parking was so convenient and saved me from a long search. the honesty bar was such a nice touch offering drinks. i also found the proximity to tunnels beach very appealing, a short walk away.
i noticed a slight delay in responses to pre-arrival inquiries, causing a bit of concern initially. however, this was quickly resolved upon arrival.

average stay, some issues

food optionsgenerous portionsoft mattressslow controller
The room was clean and had all i needed. breakfast was definitely a highlight. So many food options were available. portions were also quite generous, good.
the mattress was too soft for me. also, the tv internet was intermittent, and the remote controller was slow. it made it a little frustrating to use.

The location was convenient, with access to nearby attractions. Breakfast was also quite good.
My room was quite dusty. i noticed pet hair on the carpets in the hallway. It wasn't ideal for someone with allergies. the presence of a cat inside the house should have been stated beforehand.

Exquisite Comfort and Care

hosting skillsdelicious breakfastcigarette smell
The hostess showed ultimate hosting skills. She wonderfully catered for our trip. She fed us exquisitely well. She delivered perfection all around. The breakfast was delicious. The choices available were excellent.
The persistent smell of cigarettes lingered. Some rather strange goings on occurred during the night. I heard lots of movement, banging and shouting, so that was an issue.

The location proved great. It was a short walk to main attractions. I could easily walk to tunnel beach in less than five minutes from the hotel.
