A wonderful experience, fabulous hosts nothing was any trouble and they made us feel like part of the family. Would highly recommend staying at this property. Great views and handy location, just a short walk to town with numerous shops and restaurants that cater for all tastes. A good breakfast was included in our stay and it was a great start to the day, very enjoyable and a high standard of food provided to kick the day along.

Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
