9.2/10 Wonderful! (15 reviews)

Having read some of the earlier poor reviews, I was a little nervous. But I needn’t have been because this is a lovely clean and well run hotel in a great position. What surprised me most was the quality of the restaurant and especially towards the end of the week when lobster appeared on the menu. The bed in our room was large and comfortable with a good shower and air con. The pool is very large, clean and with plenty of singers with some underneath the cool shade of the pines. A definite ‘recommended’ from us!
