Tranquil bay view, friendly staff, comfortable family suite with garden access and pool. Great for summer stays. Exceeded our expectations with welcoming owners, knowledgeable staff, and a charming snug bar. Perfect location for shark cage diving, only a 6-minute drive away. Large clean room, lovely garden terrace, and delicious breakfast. Excellent host, informative about shark diving and lodge decor was quaint.

Spacious and well-appointed rooms with a great view of the sea
Delicious and fresh breakfast served in a cool dining area. Conveniently located within walking distance of great eating spots
The downstairs lounge area where coffee/tea was served needs a small sink and water, and a cloth for spills

The value for money at Saxon Lodge was exceptional, and the room was clean and well-equipped. The location was convenient, with helpful staff who treated me like family.
The breakfast option could have been improved with a larger variety of choices.

Saxon Lodge is truly a gem. The deck is perfect for sipping cocktails while enjoying the sunset. The location is just stunning, with so many picturesque spots to explore. The breakfast at Caron's Kitchen is a treat, and the friendly staff made me feel right at home.
Oh, I just loooved climbing steep steps to get water for my tea in the bathroom. And those thick duvets in summer?

I had an absolutely amazing weekend at this wonderful coastal retreat! The owners, Dave and Caron, made me feel right at home and went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic stay. They even helped me book a shark diving trip and recommended a fantastic restaurant. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the veranda offered stunning sea views. The little garden and pool area created a serene atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. I loved every moment of my stay and would definitely return if I have the chance. I highly recommend this hidden gem by the sea!

The owners, hotel manager, and staff were all wonderful. They were knowledgeable about the area and provided great recommendations. the property had a cozy and inviting bar, and there was a friendly and playful dog named Ted. the hosts were accommodating and even allowed us to shower and have breakfast after our shark cage dive.
Felt completely happy, no complaints whatsoever.
