Lovely Moments at a Charming Getaway

comfortable bed generous portions helpful staff

The king bed was comfortable. I found the food good and the portions generous. The staff was attentive and helpful. They quickly arranged a taxi for us to attend a show at the open air theatre and back!

The windows were not soundproofed, so the road noise was noticeable at times.

double room spacious room coffee biscuits friendly staff late check-in early check-out restricted times

my standard double room was nice and spacious the bed was comfy. i found tea, coffee, and biscuits available. the staff were friendly and both breakfast and the evening meal were enjoyable.

the check-in time was a bit late at 4 pm i thought it was far too late. also, checkout time was up until 10:30 am. i tried to leave at 7 am but no one answered the door until 8:30 am which was disappointing.

amazing stay near the coast!

friendly staff free car park reasonable meal

my experience was fantastic from beginning to end! the staff were super friendly and helpful, showing me to my room and explaining everything clearly. i really liked that the hotel had an adequate free car park, so i could use local taxis easily. i enjoyed a delicious and reasonably priced meal in the restaurant with a great atmosphere.

The noise from the bar went on quite late. I think it continued well after last orders, so it was a bit hard to fall asleep.
