We have 5 cottages to choose from sleeping from 5 to 8 in 3 or 4 bedrooms. They all surround the enclosed courtyard garden. Several have private gardens too.

Pool

Local PADI instructors run dive courses

Our south-facing solar heated swimming pool is 10mx5m and surrounded by a spacious sunbathing terrace and lawn. We offer weekly scuba diving for children and adults.

Gardens

Our fully enclosed play garden has swings, slide, playhouse, shaded sandpit, toys, trampoline and lots of space to run around. There is also a large playbarn. The cottages all face the garden so parents can relax while the children play in a safe environment, far from busy roads

  • Please note that although we have a wifi router in each cottage, due to the thick stone walls, we cannot guarantee fast wifi in every room.
