Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small, were comfortable, quiet, beautifully decorated, and offered stunning sea views. However, being in a separate building from the main one for breakfast was a minor inconvenience. The service was outstanding with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff throughout. The location was lovely for coastal walks but a bit isolated with limited dining options nearby. The dining experience was good overall but could benefit from more variety in breakfast choices. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
