    Beautifully positioned overlooking magnificent Wilderness Beach with direct access via a sloping boardwalk and steps. The beach is the thing and it’s really great with soft sand, lovely, safe swimming and long, picturesque walks in both directions. The water temperature in January was refreshing and pleasant. Our mountain facing room was modern, spacious and comfortable with a good bathroom and useful adjoining private patio. Breakfasts were tasty and generous. Service levels are very good with friendly obliging staff and good management. The small pool and outdoor shower were very welcome after the beach. All in all a very pleasant and relaxing two day stay. We enjoyed the village too, the atmosphere is delightfully bohemian and the restaurants are quite excellent.

    We stayed for 10 days & it seemed to me that we never got new bedding.

    I enjoyed the breakfast. I liked that we were basically on the beach. The staff was very friendly & accommodating.

    This was a self catering unit but there were no teaspoons supplied, no kettle to boil water for tea and no electrical appliance to warm or cook light meals.

    The view was awesome, just what we expected. Breakfast very filling and plentiful. Staff was uber friendly and accomodating. Beach walk was very calming.
