The hospitality of the host
We had a lovely stay at the hotel. Elaine and Martyn were great hosts and welcomed us with tea and vegan flapjacks. The cooked vegan breakfasts were great and the hotel was in a good location, just a few minutes from the beach. They even made us an early breakfast on a day when we had to go out before the scheduled breakfast time.
Lovely place to stay with very friendly hosts
