This small, charming property has just four rooms, a huge pool and an excellent restaurant next door. Everything you need is provided. The fridge was stocked with fresh water, fruit, cake and even almond milk for my coffee, which was thoughtfully arranged after asking about my preferences.

8/10 Good
"Enjoyed the stay at Edgewater. Our room was spacious and generally clean. The continental breakfast was good to have as part of the stay. When I needed some assistance with a couple of things, help arrived promptly. The only really negative thing was the noise coming from the villa above ours."
