Absolutely charming place. We upgraded to the larger room with the fireplace which came in handy with cold, rainy weather. Great view of the sea. Food in the restaurant was really good. Enjoyed having Irish Coffee on a inclement weather day. Loved our stay of 3 nights.

Very nice location close to the sea. We could hear the waves from our room. The staff was so welcoming, they really made a difference. Food was very good for dinner and breakfast. I loved the phone in the room, which was a rotary dial phone. I had not seen one of those in ages. Convenient car park. The hotel’s building is not in its best shape and deserves some love. Room and bathroom need some renovation.
