Great place to stay!

The place was lovely, we had a view of the sea from our bungalow and it's a great location for exploring the area. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the food was great in the bar. My only complaint was the movement sensor lights at night. They were so bright every time someone walked past it lit up the room. Some low level lighting would have been better. The outdoor furniture could use some new cushions too. And although it mentions a kitchenette, it's really just a fridge and tea/coffee. Luckily we had some camping crockery and cutlery in the car! But overall a great stay, we will definitely be back.

We loved the location. Restaurant was great. Quite a Bit of rust and worn wooden walkways could be improved upon. Being right on the beach was amazing.

lovely relaxing stay. would be nice to have more sun lounges by pool area as these were always taken early in the day. Bed was a little uncomfortable and sqeaky.

My bungalow was beautiful. Only problem was that I was the unlucky one who got Bungalow 1 assigned. That one is next to the bar/restaurant, so bit noisy until curfew. Plus everyone from the other bungalows had to use the gate next to mine to get to the bar & some people from the accommodation behind used that gate to get to the beach. So more noise and less privacy. If you exclude this, my stay was amazing. Underneath parking, beautiful bungalow and just a few steps away from the beach. Nice cafe up the road (Boffee Cafe) for breakfast as well as an IGA. So everything walkable for a lacy long weekend

Liked: Room comfort

A bit disappinting

Location was very good comfortable bed the cleaning could be better hairs found on towels not had a hoover. Bring your own shower gel etc. reception staff very nice but when request had to go further the manager was nonchalant. As no breakfast is offered then perhaps a toaster could be given not just a kettle. Lots of trip hazards on decking.
