An excellent property. Very clean, bright and airy. Lovely kitchen/dining room/living room with plenty of space for six adults and two toddlers. Owner very helpful - supplying two travel cots and two high chairs. Also happy to allow wall socket charging of our electric car for a small financial contribution. Only downside - one lumpy mattress and an uncomfortable sofa. Location is good for attractions on the east side of the island.

A lovley place to stay, nice and clean, everything you need, very well equipped kitchen, although needs a new sofa as the arm was broken when we arrived, the sofas are very deep and not that comfortable, too many scatter cushions, a bit grubby, we pilled them into the hall and did not use, both showers require a bit of maintenance as the shower arms would not stay in place, larger cushions would of been better, travel cot was damaged one side but we managed, the other Cottages looked nicer as had varanders and larger gardens, all in all a nice place to stay
