"The Hotel on the edge of the town so quieter but easy access to restaurants and bars without having to use the car. The owner and staff extremely helpful, Good breakfast probably the best place to stay on the island."
"Excellent check in to the lovely room. Reported a problem with the shower, which hotel responded to. Room opened directly onto a small private terrace with table & chairs, and the beautiful beach. "
"The cabin was comfortable and clean. The surrounding grounds were unloved. Grass and bushes were not trimmed. Bottle bank needed emptying for the whole stay. The outside chairs and table needed cleaning before using.
Quiet site and wonderful location for visiting beaches and pine forests.
The indoor pool was not available throughout our stay of 16 nights.
WiFi was a bonus.
