There are 20 cabins and five motel rooms in a bushy setting here, the biggest sleeping 10. The A-frame sea-view cabins are the pick of the bunch. Facilities include an outdoor heated pool, a tennis court, a communal fire pit, a kids’ pirate-boat playground and a canoe lake (being revamped when we visited, ducks waiting patiently).
