This was our fifth stay. The games room is a great addition.

Everything provided. Plenty of space for a large party of people to have their own space, with sitting room, very large kitchen with sofa and provided a games room which is fab, books, music and board games for young and old if you're having a chill day in. Spotlessly clean. Beautiful inside and out. Great location for travelling to all the Islands. Full information provided which covered everything from how to use kitchen gadgets to recommendations of were to go and see. We had a great break and staying in a well appointed base made the difference, especially if you're busy and can come back to haven to relax. We would highly recommend and already booked to come back next year.

This is the second time we have stayed here. The owner is on hand should you need him, very polite, knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing is too much bother. It si centrally located to explore the whole of the island group.
