"Phenomenal stay at the Sail Loft. I stayed a few nights after the Kadampa meditation retreat and absolutely loved my stay. The location is excellent, amazing walking opportunities and the beach is a 30 second walk from the front door!
You can get whatever you need from the coop in town. The place is well heated and all cooking and cleaning amenities are provided.
Place was spotless on entry and had everything I needed. Amazing price too
10/10 & I’ll be back soon"

"The heated floor in the bathroom is always a winner every visit. Disappointed that you now can’t get dinner in the bar. As a single person travelling for work, it’s never great having to sit in a busy restaurant"
"As advertised! Able to check in early which was really nice!
Rooms not super sound proof - hear other room through wall. Doors were pretty sound proof as corridor was not an issue.
Beautiful views!"
Stunning 6 bedroom 6 bathroom country home with large private indoor heated swimming pool
10/10 Excellent
"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property with a group of 12 adults and 6 children. The house was incredible, spacious, beautifully maintained, and easily accommodated our large family without ever feeling crowded.
The kitchen was one of the best-equipped we've ever experienced in a holiday home. It genuinely had everything we could possibly need, making catering for a large group effortless. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the entire house was spotless on arrival.
The booking process was straightforward, and communication regarding check-in and check-out was excellent throughout. Everything was clearly explained, making the whole experience stress-free.
A particular highlight was the warm swimming pool, which was enjoyed by both the adults and children every day and really made our stay special.
The only minor downside was that the downstairs bedroom didn't have an en suite, but this was far outweighed by everything else the property had to offer.
Overall, this is one of the most impressive holiday homes we've ever stayed in. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and would love to return in the future."
"Liked everything except the lack of an elevator. Dinner was fantastic. Special thanks to Colin who served us breakfast. Had a very informative conversation with him."
