a harbor dream come true
friendly hosts seating area superb location
the breakfast was wonderful. i appreciated the friendly hosts, who offered helpful advice on local attractions. our room had a private seating area outside, a good spot to relax. the location was superb, offering easy access to transport links.
i noticed some noise from seagulls and vehicles. the soundproofing could use some improvement. this disturbance slightly impacted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. still, it didn't overshadow the many wonderful aspects.

decent stay
cute hosts attention detail good breakfast french doors net curtains loud noise
barbara and stephen were very cute hosts.. they were patient and helpful with our questions. i appreciated the attention to detail when they packed a brunch for my early departure. the breakfast menu offered a wide range of choices, and the quality was good.
the room i had featured french doors, overlooked by other properties. i needed to keep the curtains closed to maintain privacy. some net curtains on the door would allow natural light while ensuring privacy. i also found the seagulls and vehicular noise quite loud.

Acceptable stay, some issues noticed
poor meat quality unprofessional staff
The breakfast was not self-service and the meat was of poor quality. The eggs required better cooking. A staff member, Sara, demonstrated unprofessionalism. I could overhear kitchen conversations in which staff criticised patrons. This lack of discretion diminished my stay.
