What a lovely place. I took my sister for her 82 birthday. We stayed in a 2 bed villa. It was clean and cosy with great amenities. The restaurant has good choices! The staff were polite and efficient. The only complaint was my oysters had some dried ol salad leaves under the shells!!! That disappointed me as everything else was perfect.

Great location, friendly and responsive staff. Cottage has a beautiful fire place which we utilised even with the nice weather. Kitchen didn’t have a few basics such as tea towels, cleaning sponges, or cutting knives. A small bar fridge with next to no freezer space was also challenging. Only a problem if you are planning on cooking most of your meals, which we did for our 2 night stay. But we made do. Otherwise brilliant property, very clean and right on the beach, met our expectations.
