I liked it. I paid more than I would have at other places but also, it’s at the end of the road so this has to be expected. Breakfast was excellent and the ladies running the place were lovely. I was really hot at night but it’s June so what can you expect. I’d definitely recommend it and sleep with the windows open next time. The view from the terrace is superb

Great location. Clean rooms and warm hosts. The place has a nice terrace to relax on with drink from the bar. Don't forget to ask for some aged grogue or ponche.
