The breakfast was quite good I must say it had plenty of options to choose from. The room was lovingly decorated it was very clean and warm. I could see a fine view from the balcony it really was amazing.
The bed was quite soft I rolled straight off it. The room was so small that I had to squeeze around the bed. There was no light over the kettle it was very difficult to see what I was doing

a perfect getaway

great accesswonderful bedroomfriendly hostsoft bed
the location had easy access to the beach and the village centre. i enjoyed walks along the coast, starting right from the front door. the room felt great, a wonderful bedroom with everything provided for a cozy stay. a friendly host, it was hard to leave.
i noticed the bed was soft, like it has seen many years of service. i feared i would roll right off. it proved to be a slight inconvenience.
