The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking sea views that make for a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The villa itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and impeccably clean. The outdoor area, including the spa and terrace, is perfect for lounging and enjoying the scenery. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the amenities provided made the stay feel luxurious.
The road leading up to the property was a bit tricky to navigate, especially at night. Additionally, while the Wi-Fi worked well in common areas, the signal was weak in some bedrooms.

The pictures lived up to the hype for sure! It was like we had our own Romeo and Juliette moment!the shower and bath ensuite was one of the best we have ever stayed in! Fairytail room for a quick getaway!🫶
We absolutely loved the airflow from the front of the room to the back. But would have loved to have that all night so needed a screen or two on a window. Being woken up by the upstairs neighbour or guest was surprising but was able to fall back asleep because the bed was so cumfy. Side note: the nails on the balcony need to be hammered down my son poked a hole in his foot.

There was a code to get in given to us on the email. We stayed in the garden room. Our friends stayed in the Erwon room. Our room was very pleasant and comfortable. The room was spacious and all amenities were there. The shower was quirky and the water was hot and plentiful. We had everything we needed. The garden was also lovely. Our friends room they told us was very nice and comfortable. They had a lovely restful time.

Location is fantastic, very close to facilities. Ambiance is lovely with comfortable rooms and a spacious balcony. Would have been a fantastic space to spend some time in the sun if the weather hadn't been so inclement.
Walls a a little thin. Could hear TV from next room.

It’s a very pretty boutique property with a great location and a beautiful garden. The rooms are homely and comfortable with access to balconies and a common area. It’s a walking distance to The Esplanade and the beach.
Needs a little refurbishing!

The bath and shower were great. Towels and linen were comfy and plentiful. Also liked the compendium tips and homemade movie selection.
Weird bathroom situation. Fridge and microwave on room next to the toilet, which didn’t have a proper door.

The room was clean, although the parking spaces for the hotel are small there are plenty outside. Near a lot of restaurants and the beach. Staff was friendly. Room was comfortable for two people, even had a little balcony. No noise so we had a good night.
The mattress was softer than we are used to but was comfortable.

Lovely guest house accommodation with a good ensuite. A gem. Everything was perfect. No sign of the owner though , and it took some time to get his number to get the entry code. You DO need that code!!

Lovely ambience in Erehwon Suite. Spacious with separate loungeroom. Indoor & outdoor bathrooms with spa baths & showers. Nice lighting & interesting artworks. Plenty space for clothes etc. Close to the beach with lovely gardens. Friendly owner who supplied everything we needed. All in all a delightful experience. Hope to stay again sometime.
It was all good.

I had an excellent stay in the lovely Villa by the Sea. There was an interesting, arty aspect to the entire property and everything had been thought about with care and taste. I enjoyed returning to my cosy room after a long beach walk and felt safe and snug and peaceful while I was there.
I liked everything.
