Perfect get away with amazing...

Liked: The location was perfect. Views of the sea from our room. Beautiful decor combining old with new. Plenty of parking and really friendly staff. Loved that you t was dog friendly. We didn’t take our dog this time but loved being able to pet other dogs that were there!
Disliked: No complaints at all.Breakfast was very busy and took a little while but perhaps not enough staff on. Despite that the staff were very friendly and apologised for the wait.
