the breakfast offered a great choice of items. fresh milk was available daily for tea or coffee in the room. the staff members were both friendly and helpful. the location overlooks the sea, offering lovely coastal walks. i appreciated the attention to detail regarding room amenities! public parking filled quickly, yet the hotel parking at the back of the hotel proved invaluable.
the room felt too warm and opening the window was not possible, as the kitchen extractor fan was directly outside.
