We booked here for my boyfriends birthday over the easter weekend. There was a problem with our room on the first night which meant we had to be booked out to a holiday apartment near by. This wasn't a problem for us and Malcolm the owner sorted everything out for us, gave us a lift and a bottle of wine... More
