“I appreciate the vintage charm and distinct personality of the cottages here, a welcome change from standard hotel accommodations. The gardens are lovely, and the staff goes the extra mile, even accommodating special dietary needs for breakfast. Keep in mind that it's a bit removed from the beach and main shopping areas, but the unique character and attentive service make it worthwhile.”
