    It did not disappoint. Quirky, cosy, amazing views, very clean and extremely well kitted out. We are spoiled for staying elsewhere now! We have already booked Minnehaha and Lanka for next year.

  • Jane

    We had an issue with the smoke alarm but this was sorted the same day so couldn’t fault the service at all and the staff were super friendly at the other end of the telephone and the comma were faultless. Thank you for making our first holiday as a family in 15 years so lovely!
