This hotel is individual, and like a home from home. The staff were helpful and pleasant. Easy trip to town, and near the beach. However, if you want to be in town, he us journey is a bit of a hassle. We would stay again as we enjoyed the relaxing area.

I stayed two nights here - arriving very late; wanting awkward breakfast times and the staff were willing to accomodate. Clean comfortable accomodation with lovely man running the place - helpful with finding other info out to. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay again!
