    “We'd already stayed 2 places on our holiday, which were both upmarket but walking into our room was like a slice of heaven. My daughter (named Sofia so she loves that the name sounds like her name too) made me promise we're coming back for more nights as it's just so beautiful and comfortable and well-located. She spent ages in the pool and spa, which were great and the breakfast was amazing - for her. I'm gluten-free and was grateful for the dedicated area for that also.”

  • Very poor quality for 5 stars; stay elsewhere
