the location is perfect. i loved being so close to both the beach and the town center. the owners clearly considered every detail to provide a comfortable stay. they even provided tasty sausages for my dog at breakfast, talk about hospitality!
i noticed a slight dog odor, but honestly it didn't bother me too much.

the location was really convenient it was close to both shops and the beach. the room included tea and coffee supplies which was a nice touch.
the shower had barely any pressure, made showering difficult. i also noticed a distinct smell of dogs throughout the hotel, originating from the owners' dogs that lived downstairs. this was quite off-putting and affected the overall freshness of the room. the walls seemed thin, too as i could hear a lot of noise from other rooms and the hallway.
