    The welcome pack was a lovely touch and the view was great. The beds were super comfy, one of the singles had a mind of its own, lol. We would love to return.

  • Ian

    Just an fyi that the middle tray of the dishwasher came off. The plastic holding it at the back left appeared to be damaged and unable to hold the drawer on. We also felt there wasn’t enough glasses or plates and often found there were none left meant having to use the dishwasher more than usual. We had an amazing stay and can’t wait to come back. So thank you for providing such a beautiful place to stay.

    One of the best rentals I’ve stayed in . Welcome goodies a beautiful touch . Robes & slippers also greatly appreciated. Spotlessly clean and bed linen and towels provided were sooo white !!! Only 1 small negative … the 2 single beds moved around very easily which was a bit off putting when getting in and out .
