A tranquil coastal retreat for couples seeking relaxation.
This property serves as a peaceful escape for couples and nature lovers, defined by its intimate, historic character. A stunning location near the old harbour pairs with the Treetop Spa, a refreshing facility featuring a heated outdoor pool and thermal suite. Guests frequently praise the comfortable bedding for a restful night’s sleep, and those looking for an elevated experience should consider booking one of the more spacious, updated rooms to avoid the compact feel of the standard quarters.
