In brief

What works, what to weigh

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Outstanding staff — Guests repeatedly describe the hosts as helpful, friendly, and attentive — from waiting for late arrivals to arranging parking and stocking the fridge.

  • Practical suites with kitchenettes — Rooms come with tea and coffee facilities, a dining table, and cookware — useful for families or longer stays, and several suites add sea views.
  • High guest satisfaction — An 8.9 rating from 295 reviews, with strong scores for rooms, service, and general experience.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is tight — Check-in runs only from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be awkward for late arrivals despite the 24-hour reception.
  • Parking is nearby, not on-site — Public parking is available in the area but not at the property itself; the airport shuttle is paid.
  • No pets — Pets are not allowed anywhere on the property.
  • Very small property — With just six rooms, availability is limited and there's no on-site restaurant or gym.
