The Briars, home from home

Accomodation fantastic, location fantastic, food you couldn't want for better, the vicinity to the beach, harbour or town no more than 10 minutes walk maximum. The hosts were unbelievable, nothing was too much for them, will definitely be going back.

Excellence en 6 lettres : Briars

Nous ne sommes pas restés bien longtemps, mais ces 3 jours furent bien assez pour voir que le service était excellent, à la limite du parfait (on ne capte pas le wifi depuis le dernier étage). L’accueil était des plus chaleureux et les propriétaires sont aux petits soins pour les clients.
