The environment is great, there are horses and alpacas, the boss is very nice, and you can see the sea in the distance from the room. In a suite, there are two double beds and a bunk bed, which is very suitable for a family with many children. But the room may not have been used for a long time, it smells musty, and there are no toiletries, so you need to bring your own. However, for this price, this environment, and this room type, what else do you need?

We arrived and were personally greeted by Steve. I’ve been too many accommodations in my life and I have never had a host like Steve. He was absolutely superb. We originally planned to stay for two nights and because of the.Bonhomie of the place we stayed a total of six days and five nights.
We would have stayed all the way to the end of our trip. This was an unexpected find and you have a really open mind. I highly recommended to book this place. Just remember, it’s not the faint heart.

Had booked this well in advance and it took us four hours to get there. We expected a cabin with kitchen and bathroom facilities - just basic and as advertised on their website. Instead, we were shown to a ‘garden shed’ with no kitchen, no bathroom, and NO WATER. Absolutely unacceptable. We didn’t stay and it ruined a much-needed weekend away. Disgraceful!

Charming 'Old School' Holiday Cabins
We loved our cabin at The Sandcastle. It was spacious and had a rustic old holiday camp feel about it. If you are expecting pristine modern accommodation, this is not the place for you. The setting is beautiful and only a 5-10 minute walk from one end of Pahora beach. Kitchen had all we needed to cook some meals in, although no oven, it had 2 hot plates and a microwave, toaster and kettle. Bathroom had no shampoo or soap so bring your own. The beds were comfy and towels are provided. On the Saturday evening, Steve the engaging owner got the neat outdoor pizza oven going and you just provide your own toppings, he does the dough and passata. It was a great way to chat to him and other guests for a few hours with some drinks. We felt sad to leave after 2 nights.

Stayed here with my parents and 2 month old baby - it was glorious! So tranquil. A really special place.
Easy walk to the beach and nearby eateries. Backing onto the mountains, so super quiet.
Host was so nice and accommodating. Cooked us all lovely pizzas in the outdoor oven (be sure to give him a days warning, though!)
Free yoga and massages. And lots of beautiful sights within easy driving distance.
Complete bliss.
And super good value for money.
Please book here! You won’t regret it!!
