Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a nice vintage feel with clean rooms and comfortable mattresses. The staff is exceptionally helpful and warm, catering to vegetarian diets. The location is ideal for various types of trips, boasting a fantastic beach and waterfront. Dining options are delicious, and the overall value for money is great.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable but had a 10" TV set from the 80s, which was a fun blast from the past. For nights 2 and 3, we had a good room, although we didn't use all its features. The service was very friendly and helpful, with staff taking pride in their work despite some delays with the bill. The location was beautiful, perfect for various types of trips in the summer, with a lovely beach just a 10-minute walk away. The dining experience was pleasant with a well-prepared selection, perfect for celebrations, with a nice terrace for soaking up the sun. Facilities were decent, and the yard and patio created a scenic atmosphere.
The hotel is charming with a historic touch, offering picturesque views of the bay and a field where foxes can be spotted. The rooms, though in need of renovation, have a unique blend of modern amenities and antique accents like vintage books and photos. The service goes above and beyond to ensure guests are happy, even if it means manual bill processing at times. The location is stunning, with easy access to a beautiful beach and a cozy, small operation feel. The dining experience is delightful, with a variety of fresh, delicious options available. However, some areas may require updates for a more modern appeal, and the rooms, while functional, could use a makeover.
