    Room was large and comfortable with a view of the shore. Close to local restaurants and shops and also to walk beside the sea. Bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure.

    A great place to stay.

    We had a top floor room with the most amazing view. The room was spacious, warm and comfortable.

    It's getting a bit dated but that being said, it has been well maintained.
