The balcony view and the property are the primary reasons to stay here. Despite rainy cool weather it was so great just to have tea (or wine) on the balcony. One if the best views I've ever enjoyed. The food was very good, and one of us is vegan.

View to die for

This was part of a two stage trip and after a 6 hour drive we entered the pleasant good sized car park. The room we were given was very nice and a decent size. The meals were excellent and brought to us in good time, including a ver good breakfast. Best of all were the staff who were pleasant and efficient throughout.

Perfect stay in paradise

Totally wonderful, the view from the dining hall was stunning. The staff were great and so helpful. It was a birthday treat for my wife, and there was a lovely box of chocolates from the hotel in our room, which was a lovely gesture. The food was exquisite, so all in all it was a perfect few days in paradise 🙂🙂
