Adequate stay near the coast
helpful staff clean room good food freshly painted room main entrance small room
I found the staff helpful. My room was clean. The food they served was good. The portions were appropriate for the price.
The room was freshly painted. It was near the main entrance. I couldn't open my window because the smell of paint was too strong. The room was quite small.

Seafood Lover's Paradise!!!
beach view comfy bed dog friendly seafood platter
Room 3 gave me an awesome view of the beach and the castle. The bed was comfy. I loved the fact that I could bring my dog. The menu suited seafood fans. The owner is a fisherman and catches his own lobsters and crab. The breakfast included a crab scrambled eggs option. The seafood platter was delicious. I also had the crab loaded fries and salad one evening, and they were very good.
The room had just been painted, it was room one, and was right next to the main entrance. I couldn't open the window because it was on the ground floor, and the smell was a bit much in such a small room. I stayed only one night, but I would not have stayed longer in that room.
Service

The staff were friendly and helpful, providing prompt service and attending to requests efficiently. Breakfast stood out with its continental style. a choice of hot food that was freshly prepared.
