The breakfast selection was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the views from my room. Staff members were professional and friendly (especially Alan and Mary). I would definitely return for another stay.
I noticed the absence of board games (especially during the winter months), and their addition could improve the experience.

Our "signature double room" had such a lovely view, a complete delight! the breakfast the next morning was so plentiful, i was like a queen. the staff members were also so friendly to our needs. They provided excellent service.
I found the entrance to the car park to be obstructed by several cars on our first night. This was a bit inconvenient. the mattress was a little uncomfortable, i was like i was being pitched to the sides. the room felt a bit small, with only a rack for hanging clothes.

The breakfast had a great selection. A doggy bag and treats was a sweet surprise! The hotel enjoys a lovely location close to coastal trails. I had a great stay, charmed by the area. The hotel also provided convenient parking.
The bar pricing was inconsistent. I was charged varying amounts for the same drinks on separate occasions.

The room was attractive, and everything was clean and neat. The bed offered great comfort, and the sound of the waves was very calming at night, like a gentle lullaby.
