Shining Star Review
These oceanfront chalets are about as close to the beach as you'll get; the surf rolls in, the air has a salty tang, and the sky is filled with wheeling seabirds. The various units range from basic cabins to chalets with full kitchens and big fluffy duvets; a few have whirlpool baths. There's a menagerie of sorts, too, including sheep, goats, alpaca and pigs. A continental breakfast is available on request, and there are powered sites for camper vans.
