    Breakfast offering can be improved in terms of variety.I requested cereals but was told it was not available. As I was checking out after a few days,I mentioned this to the front desk and was told it is available. Disappointed I left.

    Well maintained Boutique Hotel and very helpful staff. Vee was exceptional at helping us with our safari request. Location is the right part of P E.

    The room was very dark, a little depressing. We would have preferred to be upstairs. I appreciate the tree above pool was dropping berries continuously but perhaps more maintenance whilst this happens as the pool never looked very inviting with so much floating on the surface, however this really is a minor thing.

    Excellent breakfast. Staff could not have been more delightful and helpful. A very nice place to stay

    I travel the globe for business and therefore have stayed in more hotels I care to remember. There’s a very fine line between how nice a place is to cost. I’m afraid No5 is excessively overpriced.

    It is a beautiful property with friendly staff and a very unique setting.

    The pool wasn't heated and the artwork or style wasn't up our street, but that didn't affect our stay.

    Very luxurious hotel, we had a suite and were very happy with the amount of space. The food was delicious and we were very close to the beach.
