Highly recommended Loved everything about our stay. Great location, hospitable owners, beautiful grounds, cute chickens. Clean room and comfy bed, not en-suite but private bathroom for every room, hot shower with very good shower pressure, lovely common kitchen and lounge areas. Would have stayed longer had we could!

The owners were friendly. Its a nice walk around the property with Avocado Orchard and Bamboo trees. There's a walkway by the water the goes through the property. There are two large shared areas besides the sleeping rooms. The game room had a large TV with Disney and Netflix. They had a handicapp accessible ramp/ walkway up to the rooms. A cafe is on the corner close by that had a descent breakfast and baked goods.

The bathroom is not shared but not in the room. The sheets are bit weird, I had a lot of red spots after sleeping in it.

The Purple Hen is a gorgeous country house set in a cute little avocado orchard. Andrea and Rupert were warm and welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home. The upstairs apartment we had was clean and comfortable with our own kitchette, tv lounge, and 4-poster bed. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider staying again next time we are in this part of the country!

The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Shower was great. Bedside table would have been useful and more homely. And shampoo etc in the shower.
