Lovely little break 😀

We had a small room but we didn’t mind because we were out most of the day. We found the menu limiting but ate out. The service very good. The views from the garden were excellent and staff were very friendly. We had a wonderful stay.

the hotel has a fantastic location - is secluded and quiet. The location on the coastal hiking trail is just great. The rooms with a view of the bay are highly recommended - here you can also bridge a day with bad weather. The food is good and the portions adequate... We would love to come back...
