delicious breakfast warm smile main road noisy bar
the breakfast was fantastic, a true delight each morning! there were so many options, i found something delicious every single day. the staff in the restaurant were so attentive and courteous, i appreciated their warm smiles.
Our room faced a main road and a sports bar. It was quite noisy. the sound of traffic and the bar's activity late into the night were disturbing. I struggled to sleep well, and the wardrobe lacked shelves and drawers making storage difficult.

the staff was really friendly and helpful. the room had a view of godrevy point, which i appreciated. bus service just outside the door was convenient.
the room lacked a dining chair and a dressing table. this made doing hair and make up difficult. the shower had no bath mat nor safety grab rails.

lovely stay near the coast
friendly staff comfortable bed ample parking
the staff provided attentive and friendly service throughout my stay. my room featured a very big comfy bed that ensured restful nights. ample parking space was available at the hotel, a definite convenience with cars.
I found there was no shelf in the shower for the gel and the shampoo. This lack of storage space was somewhat inconvenient .
