The beds are extremely comfortable. The views are stunning. The hot tub adds an extra bit of luxury. If you like to cook while away the kitchen is lacking in a few cooking items. The lounge upstairs has wonderful views, although in the hot weather is extremely hot, although there is a fan we found the bedroom hot too so ended up taking it up and down the stairs, 2 fans would help or blinds to shut the sun out. We had a really relaxing week here, so wonderfully peaceful. Would definitely come back.

Hot tub is a great benefit, especially as its undercover so can be used in all weather. Great for walks or short drives to more touristy areas including beaches. Will definitely return.
