  • Kerri

    There was plenty of room for the 5 adults in our party and we never felt on top of one another.

  • Caroline

    Although we didn’t cook we could have quite easily. It was also immaculately clean. The property is very comfortably furnished, and has lovely views front and back. The Wi-Fi worked, and phone reception, and great TV options to sign into - if you can remember your passwords! Lots of peace and quiet too. We hope to return.

  • Colin
