Home from home. Spacious, spotless, has everything you need. Set in lovely quiet area but not too far away from anything. Waking up to beautiful views every morning. Plenty of car parking. We had arrived early and the cleaners were still there, we phoned Bernadette to ask if we could drop some bits off and she said once the cleaners were gone we could go in and if there are any problems to let her know. There were no issue at all and they even popped by later to check. Lovely welcome pack, milk biscuits and a bottle of wine. I would definitely recommend and would book again if i was to go back to the island.Thank you for a lovely stay
