“Here's my take: this spot has clearly found new energy, shaking off old pub vibes for something fresher. I noticed it's a comfortable base for exploring-close to the beach and local spots, plus the owners sound genuinely invested in making stays feel personal, and I appreciate that. It's the kind of place where you can see yourself unwinding in the garden after a day out.”

the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, just what we needed after a long walk. the bus stop is very close for trips. i found the breakfast to be great (especially the cooked options!).

i noticed a slight smell of smoke in the corridor outside my room, which could be addressed with better ventilation or smoke detectors.

I found the bed to be unsatisfactory. It lacked appropriate support. The shower was substandard too. Water pressure was minimal, and the temperature fluctuated. The inadequate shower detracted significantly from the overall experience.
