Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent gardens, delicious menu, good bar.
The breakfast only starts at 8 - no good for visiting workers and the walk to the nearby beach is a bit of a nightmare.

Very pleasant
This place a very nice and full of history. We found our room very small for us and 2 dogs but was very hot. No fan in the room and nothing available when asked.
Pleased we only stayed one night with the dogs.
Would stay again as all staff very friendly and welcoming. Food including breakfast was very nice.

Staff were very obliging to accommodate a very late check-in( during the early hours of the morning) due to car troubles along the way. Breakfast was excellent . Room lovely.
