The room was very cozy. I found the bathroom quite nice and well stocked with toiletries. The breakfast was delicious. I especially enjoyed the selection.
My room was up a very awkward staircase! It was difficult when I carried my luggage. The room became too hot as there was a lack of window space. A fan was available, though it was noisy.

friendly servicefresh crabsliding doornoisy bathroom
I appreciated the friendly service. The Crab Linguine was tasty with fresh crab. The breakfasts were super tasty too. Everything is locally sourced which I liked.
The room had a badly fitted glass sliding door to the bathroom and toilet. It was noisy to use and very revealing. This spoiled my stay. I did not feel comfortable.
