Great stay- lovely guy at the front desk and a clean and comfortable room for a good price. Pool needs a bit of an update but still had a nice swim. Close to the beach and a nice quiet spot.

Glen Villa Resort
Overnight stay in a spa cabin at Glen Villa Resort. Basic accommodation but the spa was a great extra, and the location was perfect. Very quiet but less than 10 minutes walk into town. Downside - Comms not great (WiFi poor and mobile signal patchy). And a hairdryer would’ve been useful.
