We entered a beautifully-decorated and warm bedroom, and were nicely advised...

A wonderful stay at this lovely hotel. My husband and son stayed here for a week. The owners/managers were so hospitable and welcoming. The location is perfect and they offer a great breakfast package. Definitely a hotel to return to in the future.

Rooms are good, except from the views; beds are really comfy. Staff are not very polite, they make you feel like asking for favour any time you need something. Breakfast is really really really poorly.
