Well appointed accommodation
We stayed for a few days and couldn’t be happier with our accommodation at Sails. The room was full of everything we needed, even herbal teas and coffee machine - real milk each day too. It was convenient to shops and restaurants and the the owners were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
