"Lovely room, comfortable bed and pillows, very effective air conditioning. Breakfast included full english + continental buffet AND made-to-order dishes which was really tasty and generous. Staff were lovely. It's located a bit away from the harbour center and with construction it was more of a walk than expected but this didn't diminish the quality of the stay."

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Honey Pod. Communication and instructions before arrival were wonderful and made everything so easy. The space itself is compact but has everything you need — a cozy kitchen/lounge area, comfortable bedroom, and clean bathroom. The wood burner hot tub in the garden was such a treat, perfect for relaxing under the stars. It’s beautifully secluded and feels like you’re tucked away in the middle of nowhere — peaceful, quiet, and magical. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and escape! "
