“The room for our dog was brilliant”

“Fabulous hotel by the sea. We stayed in a garden suite which had a terrace and mini jacuzzi. The room catered for our dog which was brilliant with dog bed, biscuits and bowl. Large sized room, very comfortable. The lawn is directly off the terrace so you can take the dog out from there easily rather than proceeding through the hotel.. the beautiful beach is just a short walk away. Terrific location.

“We could not fault anything. thank you for a superb weekend and we hope to come again.” – Coco
