My room, the King Room Sea View, features interior decoration, with stylish soft furnishings. The bed are comfortable, which help me to sleep well. There's local whisky in a carafe, also a cake . The room are large, it is comfortable, it are well equipped.
The door locks are unsafe during an emergency because i can only lock or unlock it with the key.

i stayed in a twin room sea view. the location were great for me as i do not have a car. the views from the room were amazing. the room had enough towels and pillows with a note to collect more pillows if needed.
sound of guests walking on the wood floor carried the sound to the our room. more soundproofing maybe required. the bathroom shower did not have a grab handle.
