Wonderful dog-friendly stay

great welcomecomfortable chairdog friendlysmall room
The owner chris gave us a great welcome. Our dog felt very welcome. The hotel is definitely dog friendly. I had a great room overlooking the front of the hotel. The room included a tea and coffee tray, a separate comfortable chair, and a dressing table with hairdryer.
My room felt a bit small. The sink was inside the room itself, not ideal.

The breakfast choice was excellent. It set me up perfectly for each day i had there. the preparation and presentation showed real care. it was quite excellent for me and my fellow travelers!
the walk to the beach felt longer than advertised. it seemed to stretch a bit, though the scenery was agreeable enough.

the hotel is near the coast and nearby restaurants, both accessible with a short walk. the area seemed very safe and quiet at night, but also close enough to find things to do in the evening.
