super friendly service
friendly staff local place cooked breakfast
i found the staff very friendly and helpful. they told us about local places for drinks (always a plus!). there is also a handy local shop just down the road selling drinks and snacks. the breakfast was lovely, hot, and always well-stocked when needed.
i did notice some stairs in the hotel. it might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

low water pressure breakfast room view
The shower was quite old. the water pressure was minimal and the water barely got warm. I'm not sure why it couldn't heat up properly! also, i booked a single room. i knew it wouldn't have a sea view, but the breakfast room looking only at walls and an old air conditioning unit was disappointing. at least offer a decent view, not an appliance.
