The views and light are what makes it special . We had terrible weather throughout but just watching from the verandah took our blues away The place is tired and at some point in time the owner needs to invest in his / hers cash egg. But would I stay there again ? At a drop of a hat ! ##### nick w. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sallie-Ann M.
