Loved by guests
"The views to the sea looked good from the hotel, so I made an enquiry and booked a room direct with them."
"Delicious breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea and beautiful garden."
"The building and pretty garden have an uninterrupted view of the sea and, if you get one of the comfortable rooms with a sea view, you can sit and watch the passing ships using the binoculars provided."
