    The location is very nice, with a great view of the bay. The room was spacious, and we could park right outside our room. The room was comfortable.

    Can see the sky through the roof windows. The room was surprisingly warm on cold nights without having to use the heating.

    The staff were super friendly and very accommodating and the amenities were well appointed and clean. The property is in a great location opposite the beach and set back from the road so very quiet. Highly recommended.

    Very clean, characterful buildings, with generous balcony, nicely kept gardens, beautiful small beach opposite, comfy armchairs and plenty of space, nice little kitchen. Good supply of fans for warm nights - much more eco friendly than air-con. ...
