This was our third time staying in this lovely hotel. The staff are warm and friendly and very professional. The breakfast is always delicious and freshly cooked. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious and include a kettle with an ample supply of tea and coffee. We look forward to staying there again next year!
This is the lovely pool and patio area with chairs and umbrellas.
This is the view immediately across from the hotel.
