We appreciated the historic nature of the hotel from the creaking of the wooden floors to sitting on the veranda. The staff were absolutely fabulous and helpful especially Dani at the front desk. Breakfast was a delight to be included, I personally would have preferred variety from day to day. A charming little hotel with great proximity to the beaches. We would definitely return!
