I loved everything about The villa ! Communication was very good . It was immaculate and had everything you could wish for. Tea and coffee, kettle, there was a microwave but I didn't use it also a small fridge. Wonderful soap provided in the bathroom along with a good supply of towels. You are lucky to stay here.

The location was so quiet and peaceful . Bed excellent , cooking facilities great. Very clean and tidy .

Hosts very responsive to any questions 👌.

    Really great hostel, vibey communal space, and comfy room (I had a private). The staff were very accommodating - given I arrived late, and they also provided me with a space heater to dry out my wet things after the torrential rain. Would certainly stay again.

    Staying in a homestay situation was great and we enjoyed meeting our host Graham and he was a great host who was very easy to get along with. The location was great, and just a quick walk to the beach. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. Loved meeting very friendly Mitch the cat.
