Reviewed Jan 18, 2026Easier to ask "What didn't we": we had a very well fitted out/comfortable room at the front of the property with lovely sea views. We are golfers and there are good Courses nearby e.g. San Lameer and South Broom. Also good value eateries. Very good breakfast and such welcoming hosts:Renata and Renee. A particular nice and very practical touch was the ability to make tea/coffee as and when at the downstairs "bar" and the pool area and pool itself were splendid. Each room is unique and the bathrooms so well fitted out. It was a pleasure to be there and we shall return.
