inconvenient room and LATE check-in

small room late check-in
Our room was quite small with a slanted ceiling. It did NOT have a sea view. Instead, it overlooked an alley. The furniture was TOO big, leaving very little floor space. The closet had a fridge that was turned off. The owner said it would heat up the already warm room. This meant we had no place to store our bags. We had to climb over them all night. Check-in time was already quite late, after 5pm.

a seaside reverie

sea view friendly hostess fresh fruit
The location was like a dream, with sea views from our room. The house felt very homely, and the hostess was super friendly. our room featured fresh fruit, milk, a coffee machine, and binoculars. These touches. it was a true bliss to wake up to the sounds of the sea.
The check-in time felt a bit restricted. It was only between certain hours, which caused a little stress. still, the rest of the stay overshadowed this small inconvenience. We felt grateful and peaceful.

Helen. We enjoyed the art and craft period details and the amazing view overlooking the bay. Our double room provided everything we needed, and it was spotlessly clean. The en suite bathroom offered lovely bedding and towels..
The check-in time was between 5 PM and 6 PM, which seemed a bit limited. Helen was very responsive to messages and available even later if needed.
