the location was fantastic! i could easily explore the charming harbour area. i was upgraded to a larger room and the bathroom was quite spacious, i appreciated this.
the carpet on the stairs looked rather new, i noticed what was to be some decoration of the walls was taking place, i hope they have not paid to have this done as it looks appalling.

Romantic seaside getaway
ideal locationmodern amenitiessmall sink
I loved the location near the water, perfect for evening strolls. The refurbished bedroom included modern amenities. The staff assisted with directions to local attractions.
The sink in the bathroom was quite small. It proved a bit difficult for washing without water splashing. A larger sink would greatly improve the bathroom's functionality

The hotel is near the seafront, close to various bars and restaurants, yet it maintains a quiet atmosphere. Nearby, there is a walking path along the coast towards some old castle ruins. The setting provides both convenience and opportunities for exploration.
