We had a lovely week here, the location is perfect for exploring the island. The cottage was clean and well equipped, especially the kitchen which had an airfryer and slow cooker as well as the usual hob and oven and 2 fridges/freezer. A good amount of quality kitchen equipment too. Good quality bed linen and towels provided as well as hand soap.We had an infestation of ants, but this was quickly resolved when we spoke to the reception team as they came and sprayed along the wall and door into the kitchen. We visited during a very hot week. Four of the bedrooms and the living room get the sun most of the day, making it very hot. Two pedestal fans were provided which helped, but the games room was a cooler retreat for the evening. The site where the cottage was located was very peaceful, despite being busy. There's an excellent children's playground and a short dog walking area.

OK but could be improved. Maintenance required in many areas starting with the gates. Oven and air fryer not clean, no egg cups in cupboard. Ants swarming around kitchen door.
