Generally a good s

The room was quite comfortable and the staff were all welcoming and lovely. Two issues: the pool was not very clean (perhaps this was a fluke, but it was full of leaves and even some hair) and the breakfast was fine but felt overpriced at 34 euros each. Can’t beat the location or the quiet, though!

Once navigated the bollards to access the hotel (a quick phone call) all was plain sailing. Great check in, wonderful view from room, pool was quiet, easy 10-15 min walk to harbour and restaurants.
