average stay by the sea
the location was indeed perfect for exploring the area.
The lack of hot water one morning was quite frustrating. It certainly put a damper on the start of the day (especially for a special anniversary). we were offered no real solution at the time.

The room included a coffee machine. Robes and toiletries were also provided. I found the breakfast delicious and could choose from a menu.
I arrived at 12pm but I could not check in until 2pm. The bar was noisy and had too many yapping dogs. The further up the stairs I went, the less clean it was.
