We recommend this accommodation. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ebony Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing little spot and definitely worth the trip Staff were friendly and accommodating, they helped us with any questions we had.
