Spent one lovely night at this beautiful hotel. We stayed in the very beautifully appointed family room overlooking the beach. Also had a lovely and delicious dinner and perfect breakfast in the downstairs pub. Clean and located in a really lovely little town on the marina. Cannot say enough good things about it. We wanted to stay longer!!
