I don't often write reviews, but I always check trip advisor before staying anywhere, and I agree with all the comments.

They even re-do your room each day. I... more

The bathroom was immaculate and the towels white and fluffy. There was also a constant supply of hot water. The breakfasts were excellent - juices, cereals, yoghurts,... more

We spent 2 nights at the St Raphael and had a lovely time. The owners Zoe and Dom were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and their advice on places to eat and visit was very useful. The b&b was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean, and the rooms very welcoming. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it... more
