"It is worth the extra to request a sea view room, a cup of tea or coffee in the morning with that view is the best way to start the day."

“The hotel strikes me as a boutique property that understands its coastal address, maximizing views of the North Atlantic. From what I gather, the cocktail lounge, with its art deco designs, seems a destination in itself. I am impressed by the commitment to sourcing local ingredients for the restaurant.”
