“The building's Edwardian bones provide a sophisticated backdrop, subtly updated with modern comforts; the location, a short walk from the seafront, manages to be both peaceful and remarkably convenient. I appreciate the pet-friendly approach that doesn't compromise on the design or the overall quality of the experience, along with secure parking and a commitment to dietary needs. This feels like a particularly well-managed boutique operation.”
