Beautiful place in a lovely setting. Across the road from the beach. Staff could not do enough for us, very welcoming and polite. Breakfast was lovely and great choice. Restaurant food was lovely and staff very attentive to my other half’s food allergies and checked everything through with her and were more than willing to make any changes to her meal that was required.
