Lovely base for exploring the area

Lovely hotel in a good location with free on site parking, excellent facilities and a reasonable bar and restaurant. It was extremely clean and the room was well equipped with a very good shower and a fridge as well as air conditioning. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The road to the front is fairly busy and noisy but the bedroom doors onto the balcony were double glazed with full shutters and blocked out all noise and light.

Amazing hotel. Really enjoyed our one night stay. It has a small pool, which we did not use as the weather was not good. We ate in the restaurant which was OK but not exciting. It is only a few minutes walk to town where there are many places to eat. That said, a recommended hotel
