excellent coastal stay
coastal scenery amazing staff
I stayed two nights and found the location wonderful for coastal walks. i especially enjoyed the dramatic coastal scenery. the room was nice and neat. breakfast and evening meals were great. The food was sublime and the staff amazing.
during my stay, i felt that the decor in some areas needed attention. more storage space would have been useful for a longer visit. the room was missing brighter lighting during the winter months.
