Excellent Stay with Coastal Charm

The front of house staff was very friendly. The urban king room offered ample space and a modern bathroom. Nearby coastal walks provided beautiful scenery. The Cullen skink was quite good.
The door did not automatically lock. I needed to use the key each time which was a minor inconvenience.
