Perfect!

Just an amazing spot & views - wow! Great little golf course too. Very comfortable room. Make sure to state that you need the single bed if booking that room - we were kindly upgraded, but unfortunately because we were checking in late we hadn’t actually spoken to anyone. No huge problem, sharing a bed with a mate is ok, but a seperate bed would have been better!
