Wonderful stay by the sea

friendly host tasty food bathroom cleanliness

I appreciated the friendliness of the hosts. Breakfast included a good selection. Cooked food was very tasty. The hotel accepts dogs. Made a difference for me. Small bottles of fresh milk were available for the tea tray. A face flannel was provided in the bathroom. the bathroom cleanliness impressed me. There was not a single water mark on the shower screen.

I noticed some sound traveling from the neighboring room. The walls seems thin.
