a sweet haven of hospitality

the staff's warmth embraced me upon arrival, i felt cared for. breakfast featured exquisite local ingredients. i savored the afternoon treat of complimentary homemade cake and also used the convenient fridge.
the in-room fan circulated air, it could have been a bit quieter. i found its hum somewhat distracting during the night.

the location is good. it is easy to access the harbour side and town. breakfast was fantastic. i also appreciated the parking to the rear, it was very useful.
i found the bed bulky in the small room. i kept knocking my knees on the corners. the shower slip mat in the shower collected germs, and i didn't want to stand on it. i heard a checkout bell ring at 9:55 am, it was like last orders in a bar.
