The location is highly praised for its quietness, access to local beaches, mountains, and cycle routes, making it ideal for a relaxing and active holiday.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with mentions of a comfortable bed and a relaxing environment. However, there were comments about the beds not being king-size as advertised and suggestions for mattress toppers.
Facilities are good but with some room for improvement. Guests missed a freezer, microwave, and experienced issues with WiFi. The presence of TVs in every room was a plus.

The description was not wholly accurate in that the beds were not King Size, alhtough they were otherwise comfortable. There was a TV in every room. There was no freezer or freezing compartment in the fridge which was a felt ommission. Overall, though, we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.
