lovely stay near the sea
polite staffwarm hotelcomfy bedhot water
the staff were very polite and efficient, i found the hotel to be warm and cute. my room was also warm, so i appreciated that it had plenty of hot water. the bed was comfy and i slept well because the hotel was quiet. breakfast was good, i had scrambled eggs and bacon one day.
the cappuccino costs extra, not great for a boutique hotel.

mixed experience, some issues
helpful staffmissing refrigeratorpoor noise insulation
the staff were helpful.
The room lacked a refrigerator, something i consider essential for a comfortable stay. the curtains did not fully close. This allowed unwanted light into the room. i also found the noise insulation to be poor as i could clearly hear conversations from the room above, including activity in their bathroom.
