decent stay, room for improvement

sloping walls dirty carpet

the breakfast was good with a lot to choose from.

our room was at the top, the attic room. the sloping walls meant that we couldn't sit up in bed to watch tv. a few rogue hairs were here and there, and the carpet could have been cleaner.

amazing anniversary treat!

varied menu amazing food longer stay perfect thing

we stayed in garden room 1 for two nights with dinner and breakfast included. this was a special treat for our 32nd wedding anniversary. everything was perfect and the food was amazing. the three-course menu offered great variety, i wish we had booked a longer stay to sample everything!

the location is a bit secluded, so a car is beneficial for exploring the nearby areas. walking to the beach involves steep inclines, a challenging trek without a vehicle. this might be difficult for some guests.
