“This is truly a gem right on the coast, where the views at breakfast really do set the day off right. The kitchen turns out consistently good meals, from hearty dinners to a well-chosen breakfast spread, and the rooms themselves are quite comfortable and clean. What stands out, though, is the remarkable warmth and kindness of the staff, making it a place I'd gladly return to.”
