double room sea view friendly staff sunset view
the restaurant alone is worth the visit, i'm serious! i had a double room and it had a great sea view from the bedroom. the staff was super friendly. the hill behind the lodge gave a fantastic sunset view!
the hotel did not provide any secure bike storage, but it was a very minor issue.

an adequate stay, nothing MORE.

dated décor limited selection
The room décor felt dated, with rather uninspired choices. Breakfast was acceptable. HOWEVER, the selection was limited. I also noticed that some areas in the hallway looked a bit worn and could use a refresh. it didn't quite live up to expectations, considering the price i paid.
