Genau richtig
Pros:

Schönes Zimmer mit neu renoviertem Bad. Zimmer direkt mit Meerblick, aber wenn man sich ein bisschen aus dem Fenster lehnt, kann man den Sonntag Sonnenuntergang herrlich beobachten.

Alles sauber, alle freundlich, sehr gut geführtes Haus.

Sowohl das Frühstück als auch das Abendessen im Restaurant war hervorragend!!

Der Pub ist eher eine moderne Bar.

The lovely restaurant was very busy when we were there, but this team of young professionals made it all work amazingly well, and were so pleasant and friendly, and such a part of the charm & warmth of the whole place!!! we absolutely hope to stay again and to stay a little longer next trip!!

Cons:

Not a thing!!
