The town centre is within walkable distance with a variety of restaurants to choose from. Walking down to beach is also very easy. We were grateful for the upgrade of our room, with an extremely comfortable couch. We also love the fact that there is a heater in the bathroom, which is essential for our stay during winter!

It was a short but nice stay. It appeared that in our room with the spa bath on the ground floor had some recent works done in the bathroom which looked nice. The room and surrounding area were very clean and the place was quiet but it was the off peak season. We arrived and checked out, outside of reception operating hours but the details on how to access our room key was communicated well.
