Great location by the marina -- I'm a return visitor over several years. Nice welcome by the staff, and everything was clean and well provded for. As it was a last-minute booking I got the final room -- the disability unit, which seems to be very well set up.

A very comfortable stay indeed. The new owners seem to have thought of everything. The room was very comfortable, in excellent condition, spotlessly clean and fully equipped. A simple continental breakfast is included. Located right on the front of the marina and a very pleasant bistro is next door. Very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
