a treasured experience

beautiful veranda refreshing swims local goods
the hotel held such charm, i almost didn't want to leave to explore. the veranda possessed a beautiful array of flowers! i saw the afternoon tea and vowed to try it upon my return. the proximity to the tidal pool allowed for two refreshing swims ! the farmer's market at the back offered some of the best local goods i've tasted.
The museum floor felt a bit unsettling. I found it a little creepy.
Facilities
9/10
the hotel features a historic lift, showcasing original details from when the hotel was initially built. a distinctive rose-colored billiards table is present in the basement, offering an unusual recreation space. guests can find a farmers market that takes place in the field behind the hotel on the last sunday each month.
Location
10/10
the hotel benefits from close positioning near the tidal pool, which makes swimming easily accessible. the immediate area includes convenient proximity to the sea, facilitating easy walks along the coast. the coastal path is very close, therefore the sunsets views were wonderful.
Service
