charming seaside stay

good optionshelpful staffdisruptive noise

i stayed in a standard double room for three nights (it was a lovely retreat!). the room was clean and had all the basics i needed. the included breakfast had good options, and the staff were helpful when i asked for directions.

i found the noise from neighboring rooms quite disruptive. loud conversations carried through the walls, hard to sleep soundly.
