What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Wonderful experience, the view, the food, and the friendly atmosphere. I hope it won’t be too long before we can be back!”
“I haven't stayed here but we've been to the restaurant many times this and last year. The food is varied and delicious. Mind you the portions vary depending on where you order from, that is, if you ask for the daily menu, which I strongly recommend, the sizes are smaller than if ordering straight form the menu separately. In addition, the service is kind and warm. The best feature in my opinion is the scenic view to the wide beach.”
“Beautiful place friendly atmosphere and great scenery”
“What a find! A wonderful, calm, luxurious hotel right on a private beach. The room was great (mind the little step up into the Bathroom though!) and the welcome was warm and friendly. Dinner was outstanding with a wonderful menu of interesting, local foods. Not to be missed and would absolutely stay there again.”
“Beautiful location. Room was very basic, especially for the August price. Everything was clean and breakfast was wonderful...again with a view of the beach. Note, it is down a very busy (in summer) single track lane that can take some time to navigate with congested traffic. Easy parking at hotel.”
