“Such the perfect size for 2. Nice furnishings - so many places just give one small sofa here we had two comfortable seemed like new to properly relax in. Thought bed might lack support BUT no was actually very comfort but the only let down (even worse in really hot weather) was Poly Cotton bedding. So out of date when pure cotton is so cheap and so much healthier as well as comfortable. Would also be nice to have two instead of just one hand towels but perhaps this was an error - we managed and everything else we needed was there and a super efficient Miele Fridge Freezer for this hot weather. Nice little Patio Area and good suggestions left for places to eat and see. Such a PERFECT place to stay if disabled as we both use sticks. Access ramp slope to enter but if a wheelchair user Patio area is unusuable as stepped access only.”

The owner was very friendly and helpful on our arrival. It was well equipped and nicely furnished. A very peaceful place to stay and a good location for everything we planned to do<br /> ”
