What customers say
Cracking coastal views, loads of space for walks. Staff are dead friendly and helpful. Facilities like the shop, cafe & pools are usually spick and span. Some reckon it's a bit out of the way, but the peaceful vibe and family stuff are a huge plus. Occasional Wi-Fi dramas and the outdoor pool temp were minor gripes. Top spot for a chillout.
