“Nestled away with views of Torbay, it's the kind of place for a break from crowds and a quick walk to the beach. I think the bar area stood out for its cleanliness and friendly staff, and the hydrotherapy access looks complimentary with some room upgrades, which is a nice touch. It seems ideal for couples or families, especially with the on-site restaurant and grounds.”
