Nature beach peace and wonderful food
Pros:

Such a great hotel and restaurant !!! Such a pleasant homey feeling. People are extremely friendly (Caroline at the reception and Julie in the restaurant and the super friendly Adrian at the bar / restaurant)
The staff here genuinely want to pamper you and make you feel at home. The location is perfect and within walking distance of the beach. The rooms are clean and cosy, with a very comfy bed and a lovely bedquilt. The food in the restaurant is excellent, and the breakfast was sooooo good. Everything is made with so much love. Some veggies and herbs from their own garden It’s truly a treat to stay here !!!! Lucky me :-)
