We had a fantastic stay! The whole bed and breakfast was spotlessly clean. We had a few lovely days of weather and the pool is a fantastic place to relax as it's a real sun trap with hardly any wind. Breakfast was delicious and portions were perfect.

Perfect! Our large, well-appointed room was spotlessly clean and had an excellent sea view. The owners Julia and Jamie and their team could not have done more to make our stay more enjoyable. Our breakfasts were perfectly prepared and presented, the parking was easy and the garden area, furniture, features and art were all interesting and sometimes quirky which enhanced the overall 'feel' at The Cimon. Top notch and excellent value!
