Property exactly as advertised. Cozy and peaceful surroundings. Hosts had thought of everything that could be required for our family of four- we neednât of brought any essentials!!! Everything kept to a high standard and beautifully clean and comfortable. Access to the swimming pool and games room was a bonus and great hit with all. This short holiday was a real treat, a home from home. We could still sit outside under the covered seating area despite the pouring rain, and wouldnât hesitate to book this place again. Great place, thanks Beni and Jonathan.

We are a family of 4 with a young child and a baby and it was a great base for the many beautiful beaches in the area. Beni provided a cot for the baby which was great and it has a built in stairgate which provided peace of mind. We cooked every night although remember to bring your salt, pepper and oil as there was none there (the holiday cottage lottery!). Lovely comfy beds too
