Loved everything about his place . Highly recommend
Pros:

Wow .. what a beautiful place to stay . Down a small quiet lane , within walking distance to beach and shops . This place is a must stay. The rooms are huge , clean and comfortable . The staff are sooo sweet and helpful . They feel like family , and the gorgeous Patty ( the house dog ) always waiting at the gate for you or greeting you when you get out of your room in the morning . We loved her . The pool is huge and lovely to cool off in after a day at the beach or exploring .The gardens are so tranquil and the decor gorgeous .

Perfect
Pros:

Supeeer mooi verblijf en hele lieve mensen. Het zwembad was top, de kamers waren top, eigenlijk was alles top.

Cons:

Heel klein puntje is dat het een stukje lopen is vanaf het strand en de restaurants.

Pros:

Virkelig smukt og behageligt at være der. Føles mere som guesthouse end hotel.

Cons:

Der var aber på taget om natten om larmede helt vildt meget, og holdte os vågen den ene nat.

Pros:

I liked that they had just 3 rooms on the whole property so it was very cozy, not crowded at all. The common areas were very spacious and the kitchen was neat and clean. Felt comfortable, the staff was friendly.
