"Phenomenal stay at the Sail Loft. I stayed a few nights after the Kadampa meditation retreat and absolutely loved my stay. The location is excellent, amazing walking opportunities and the beach is a 30 second walk from the front door!
You can get whatever you need from the coop in town. The place is well heated and all cooking and cleaning amenities are provided.
Place was spotless on entry and had everything I needed. Amazing price too
10/10 & I’ll be back soon"

"Charming, comfortable hotel near distilleries and good pubs. We asked the young person at the front desk for assistance calling a taxi and she just gave us some numbers to call ourselves. We weren’t able to reach anyone but she expressed no concern or willingness to assist further. It left a bad first impression of the hotel."
"The Hotel is amazing the staff could not do enough and it felt well looked after and money had been spent on it. Breakfast was superb and plenty of coffee. Plenty of parking and I will absolutely be staying here again."
Stunning 6 bedroom 6 bathroom country home with large private indoor heated swimming pool
10/10 Excellent
"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property with a group of 12 adults and 6 children. The house was incredible, spacious, beautifully maintained, and easily accommodated our large family without ever feeling crowded.
The kitchen was one of the best-equipped we've ever experienced in a holiday home. It genuinely had everything we could possibly need, making catering for a large group effortless. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the entire house was spotless on arrival.
The booking process was straightforward, and communication regarding check-in and check-out was excellent throughout. Everything was clearly explained, making the whole experience stress-free.
A particular highlight was the warm swimming pool, which was enjoyed by both the adults and children every day and really made our stay special.
The only minor downside was that the downstairs bedroom didn't have an en suite, but this was far outweighed by everything else the property had to offer.
Overall, this is one of the most impressive holiday homes we've ever stayed in. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and would love to return in the future."
"Liked everything except the lack of an elevator. Dinner was fantastic. Special thanks to Colin who served us breakfast. Had a very informative conversation with him."

"The ladies on reception were so lovely. Friendly and very helpful advising on gpod eating places and places to visit.
The bedroom was clean with very comfortable bed. Sadly the hotel is in need of tlc it showed the signs of great potential and could offer a wonderful eating and drinking venue if developed.
The price was very reasonable given the standard of the amenities and a place to certainly use if only needing a base"
