“Stunning Guestshouse”
Beds were the best I have ever slept on, Hastens Beds. Service and staff attention impeccable at all times. Breakfast fabulous with many choices and Dinner is optional and was very good. Once you are there you actually do not want to go anywhere and just take in the sea air, views and peace.
