Pros:

I liked the location, g8 views. It was very charming and quaint. Staff were very friendly.

Cons:

I had to pay £8 a day parking on top of rm price and as I was out everyday with the car and not using the space thought it was bit much. Would have liked bit more choice for main meals.

Pros:

Wszystko jak najbardziej w porządku.

Cons:

Zdziwiło mnie ze trzeba zapłacić parking 8 funtów, a w dodatku za motocykl który stał z tyłu i tylko mój na ogromnym placu. Trochę przesada wydaje mi się.

We had a spectacular room called the “Latin,” room which was amazing with great sea views.
Pros:

The property was beautiful in a great location

Cons:

On entrance, I would be of the opinion that the owner/manager was quite rude, and she could have displayed a greater degree of professionalism.
