The breakfast was top class. Mark, the chef, really outdid himself each morning (especially the pancakes!). The location is perfect. Everything you need is right on the doorstep. The hosts were very cute, and I will definitely return.

There was no heating turned on, though it was late September. My room was quite cold, and I could not adjust the temperature. There was also no hot water in the shower during the evening. A cold shower was not pleasant after a long day.

Returning here was like visiting old friends. the location is ideal. A short walk puts you right in the heart of town and near the beaches. the breakfast included was generous and very tasty. i will certainly book again.

during my stay, the shower lacked hot water one evening. a cold shower was unpleasant, though it was resolved the next morning. i hope this gets checked regularly
