Great stay and an even better host and dining experience

A very last minute booking for us when we were in the area, but what a find. The rooms are all really nice, spotlessly clean and comfortable, we were lucky enough to have a bay facing room so could actually watch whales from our window😍 Even the communal areas are fantastic, with a great collection of artwork all around. The host, Jonathan, was another level of excellence, both friendly and informative and also an excellent chef. We had breakfast, with all the guests being served at the large dining table, which works really well as everyone gets chatting and passing on their experiences and recommendations. I believe that they (dependant on the number of guests) offer a similar experience for an evening meal, again with Jonathan offering whatever is available and it has great reviews. We didn't get to experience it as we were so last minute, but if breakfast is anything to go by, I'm sure it would be great. The area is really quiet and relaxed and perfectly safe. All the staff were super friendly and helpful, to they extent of even washing my car without being asked, just because it was parked under their trees and the local birds could of 'been busy'. Overall, a fantastic find which I'd 100% recommend, thank you Jonathan and the team.
