Super tranquil and beautiful place. The location is good for being fairly close to most attractions but theres not too much withing walking distance so i would recommend a car or scooter hire. The hosts were really lovely with helpful advice. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Even though most rooms were occupied we hardly noticed the other guests.

We didnt find the bed that comfortable, not really sure why exactly.

We loved the outdoor courtyard - private and comfy and overlooking g beautiful gardens and the pool. Elderly Mum loved reading out there. The beds were comfy and the unit had everything we needed. Loved the breakfast on the first day - thanks so much!

The only thing was the wi-fi which we found very patchy but not a biggie, everything else more than made up for it!

We had a great stay at Daydreamer in the 3 bedroom unit. It was spacious and clean, the covered outdoor area was perfect in the evenings and the gardens were beautiful and provided excellent shelter from the wind. Having breakfast for the first day along with tea and coffee provided meant would could relax as soon as we arrived. We loved our visits from Marnie and Puss Puss, who were both very well behaved visitors. We also made good use of the BBQ area which was well set up with everything we needed.
