Good location close to main route north. Friendly staff, comfortable beds, lovely views over the sea and free parking but an awkward down hill walk for elderly people to get down to the beautiful seaside village where parking is impossible.

Very sweet hotel with friendly, reliable service

Really enjoyed the terrace room -- it had everything we needed to be comfortable and it was nice to step out of the room onto the little terrace adjacent to the garden (despite the less-than-desirable weather). The staff here are very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is clean and well-maintained. We hope to return!

Great small hotel, walk to Beach and restaurants

Great small hotel within a very well renovated old school building. Nice features if the old school retained and decorated. Our room looked into the old playground area that is now planted. Although the hotel is quite close to the main coast road there was no issue with road noise. Would have appreciated some tea/coffee facilities within the room or at least the ability to get hot water. Good breakfast at extra cost.Parking was available but not 'secure'but on the side of the road or a small car park. 10 minute walk to the bars and restaurants of Guethary and easily able to walk to several small beaches.
