The property is very nice, but their policies are not. Be very aware that this place does a lot of special events and when those special events take place, room guests are treated like second class citizens Noise till 1pm, no parking….I needed to park 1/4 mile away. The staff and manager could care less. I would never stay there again.

This hotel is in a great location with wonderful views.
It is family owned and has a warm and friendly ambience.
The facilities are good overall, although some aspects are a little tired.
The pool is pleasant.
Breakfasts are excellent, and we also enjoyed the food from the bar menu.
Staff are mist helpful.

Will definitely return
Amazing hotel and spa with phenomenal views out to sea. Small village with few amenities so hire car essential. It’s VERY popular as a wedding venue and evenings can be loud music with drunken guests banging doors until the small hours. That said, reception apologised on check out and gave a generous credit as compensation.

Beautiful spot
Beautiful location. The older lady on breakfast duty was fabulous, so helpful and cheerful. Hot tub not particularly hot and no power on the jets plus the towels are miniscule. Pool lovely. Everything very clean. Beds very comfortable and food great.
