"Beautifully decorated and furnished room felt modern but in keeping with the building."
"The complimentary water in the fridge was a lovely touch, as was the information folder giving details of places to visit."
"Nice sea view from room 2. Parking not an issue at all, able to park right outside the front door for the whole of the stay."
