Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Absolutely magic shower, hot water and pressure was positively grand! The beautiful surroundings, the tranquility, the ambience and stunning starry night sky makes for the perfect place to be if you're in needing some pure RnR which we did... Steve is such a warm, welcoming host and always makes my stay a pleasent one.. Thanks for the tasty taters Steve :-)
Negative: Nice room, but I was a bit disappointed we didn't get the chalet I originally thought I had booked with a balcony and views to the ocean from the balcony... There were too many spiders and webs in our accommodation.. Make shift bed was unstable, wouldn't suit a big person to sleep on.. Broken bathroom window, no proper latch to close it.. Dirty smelly rubbish bin and food left in fridge from previous stay overs... No milk or enough tea, sugar coffee condiments.. Accommodation needs a really good clean...
