"Really lovely hotel ? Our room was at the back so not much of a view unfortunately , but the hotel has a porch to sit on in front on the first floor which made it lovely. Owner was nice too .. beautiful water and place to swim near restaurant. Service was a little slow at times by the pool , but August can be busy. Might come back , found it a bit pricey for just one night."
