Manse in the Beach is the perfect getaway. Just opposite a lovely beach which my dog and I had to ourselves. From arriving I felt right at home, the accomodation is beautiful and Sarah & Brian are the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. I had poached eggs bacon & sourdough bread just yum . I was lucky enough to coincide my stay with a Thai night on the Saturday and the food was delicious, great variety of freshly cooked dishes all beautifully presented. Everything about Manse on the beach is perfect. Location, cleanliness and the hospitality. Well worth a visit 🙂

Exceptional!

What a hidden gem situated in a quiet, picturesque location. Exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished, well equipped and the private sauna and jacuzzi was a lovely touch. Powerful hairdryer, massive comfortable bed and Netflix on TV in room and lounge area were also appreciated. The breakfast was delicious with an excellent selection; fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, and a choice of cooked options. Lovely garden area to relax in and a beach just across from the property. The host Brian was very helpful and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay and hope to return.

This is a stunningly beautiful hotel with amazing views. I was a bit apprehensive as it was my first time travelling with my 7 month old dog but the staff and owners were fantastic. The hotel is spotless. Smells amazing. There is a large enclosed back garden for dogs to run and enjoy. 5 resident dogs who are all beautiful and love to play. The breakfast was also delicious, great quality food, amazing service and great location for a relaxed few days away. You can walk straight onto the beach. I will definitely be back and couldn’t recommend this hotel enough

A beautiful property, well cared for and a very thoughtful lodging experience. The room had a lovely ocean view, right on the water. Brian and Cora were lovely hosts, provided all the information I needed for my stay, were very helpful in making dinner reservations, very accommodating to my schedule for checking out, and provided great relaxation services on short notice. Rachel was so lovely and curated a great breakfast; she also helped me to get in a quick load of laundry. The resident dogs were so sweet and playful.
