Whale Rock Luxury Lodge

Whale Rock Luxury Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Right from our check in and all the time we were there all the staff were so friendly and just excellent. Adrian was so friendly and could not have been more helpful The hotel itself was perfect for us, small, quiet and we just loved the relaxed atmosphere. They had a small bar area in the reception which works on an honesty basis. Just help yourself and make a note (Not very often you find that these days) Breakfast was just lovely and everything was so fresh and cooked to order. We liked the walk along the sea to all the restaurants and the taxi home only cost £2.00 We would definitely recommend and if we are ever in the area again, will come again and enjoy their warm hospitality.
