“What struck me most was the hotel's clever location, moments from the ferry yet still offering those wide Hog Bay views; the gardens are a real highlight, especially from the villas. The bistro serves very generous portions of local seafood, rounding out a stay that balances convenience with a genuine sense of place. It's a solid base for exploring the island.”
