“In the heart of the village, its location is truly unbeatable; plus, the breakfast comes with beautiful sea views from the breakfast room. The bar downstairs provides tasty beers and very tasty food - I particularly recommend their seafood chowder. It might need some refurbishment but it is worth it.”
