  • Scott

    Very clean, great owners who are close by if needed. Great location

  • Emma

    We couldn't have asked for more

  • Philip

    The spacious accommodation was very practical and comfortable. The kitchen coped admirably with multiple cooks and starving children. The outside space also worked very well with lots of opportunity for games and exploration. It is worth noting that the perimeter of the property is not secure for children or pets. However, the extent of the outside space meant this was not a problem for us. The owners live close by and were extremely helpful but not intrusive. The beaches nearby were wonderful and easily walkable. We would certainly recommend this property.
