Quaint Stay Near the Coast

great location super clean bedding friendly staff delicious food
I enjoyed the proximity of the lodging to the local pub. It's always a treat. The provided bedding and towels were wonderfully clean. Walking into the village center was very convenient, great to relish drinks at the pubs. The staff was friendly, and the food tasted delicious.
I found the room a bit cramped due to the furniture layout. It was easy to bump my toes on the furniture.
