A good place to step off the treadmill for a few days. We were the only people using the pool, so it felt as though we were staying in a private villa. Our room was spotless and the bed was comfy. There was a good choice of food for breakfast. Lovely, helpful owners. Car parking was a bonus.

As usual, we had a lovely stay at The Cimon (3rd time). Julia & Jamie are a lovely couple- very welcoming and friendly. The rooms at The Cimon are very good, with tasteful decor and all the facilities you could want. The breakfasts really set you up for the day ahead. Julia & Jamie have a wealth of knowledge regarding the local area and can advise on places to visit as well as good eateries etc. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay with them. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.
