Positive experience - a lovely property with amazing locale, beautiful room, nice dining choices nearby and surroundings. Maybe only criticism is it was priced steep for the value received.

Great place to stay!

The place was lovely, we had a view of the sea from our bungalow and it's a great location for exploring the area. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the food was great in the bar. My only complaint was the movement sensor lights at night. They were so bright every time someone walked past it lit up the room. Some low level lighting would have been better. The outdoor furniture could use some new cushions too. And although it mentions a kitchenette, it's really just a fridge and tea/coffee. Luckily we had some camping crockery and cutlery in the car! But overall a great stay, we will definitely be back.
