    Had a great time and very sad that we only chose to stay the one night. Comfortable, clean, and full of serenity. If you want something away from the hustle of the main esplanade, and you enjoy a fabulous view, this is your place.

    For what we paid, this was brilliant value for money. The view of the surrounding area was stunning and the room was smallish but felt spacious and was comfortable. A good breakfast was also provided in the room along with tea, coffee and milk.
