Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was huge, had a beautiful fireplace, and a wet room - just the way I like it. Surprisingly quiet later on, even though it was above the kitchen. The only downside was the nightmare of navigating the room with steps and no handrails for safety.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with sea views, a huge walk-in shower/wet room, and a bathtub overlooking the sea shore. The bright and clean rooms have everything you could want, boasting wonderful views of both the coast and the countryside. The service is attentive and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location provides a brilliant atmosphere and is easy to relax in, with easy access to nearby towns. While the dining experience may have room for improvement, the overall value for money is commendable.
