It was a good place to stay for a short weekend away.
Pros:

Walking distance to the beach and the pub. Good parking, bed was comfortable and room was suitable for a short stay. The pool was great, some more shade during the day would have been good.

Cons:

The fan only worked when on 3. The facilities are quite old and need some refreshing. You could only wash your dishes in the bathroom sink.

Tired, but comfy & cheap; decent option for 1 night at the island.
Pros:

Had 1 pool room and 1 family room. Both rooms and grounds a little tired, but beds comfy enough & linen clean. Good value for the island when only staying one night. Had a decent pub feed for dinner & enjoyed a beer & the toad races. Pool in pub area super tired and a bit grotty, but pool at units nicer.

Cons:

Old and a bit tired.

Unfortunately the weather was not our friend! However sunbaked and enjoyed the pool. The pub makes
Pros:

We have stayed there before and been reasonably happy with accommodation.

Cons:

In our room, would have appreciated 4 x sets of cutlery, crockery, tea/coffee/biscuits. More importantly, the balcony door was difficult to close and some work needs to be done on getting the curtains running smoothly. I noted looking up at rooms, that curtains were just not working in some rooms.

Disappointing
Pros:

Great location. Has the potential to be amazing.

Cons:

Not well managed and the rooms feel quite neglected. Rooms could do with a good spruce up. Help and advice with the management of the property would be a good thing.
