Lovely Moments at a Charming Getaway

comfortable bedgenerous portionshelpful 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.

amazing stay near the coast!

friendly stafffree car parkreasonable meallate noise
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.
