Jo, the manager gave me a lovely welcome and because it's still early in the season, gave me the best room available - with a four poster bed, huge veranda - completely beautiful.

My husband and I and our two small dogs spent a very peaceful and casual week at the lovely Elia Inn.

This place is advertised as a spa yet I had to book everything in advance.
