It was beautiful, very clean, comfortable and a real home from home. We had a wonderful week, weather was very kind, found beautiful beaches and will definitely return.

The scenery is beautiful and so so quiet. We had a great holiday and used the chalet as a base to explore the area. The owners were very accommodating and offered advice when asked. The onsite facilities are basic and the pool very small, the slide was out of action.

I would suggest that a free standing toilet frame be made available. This would increase the number of potential booking and as a result additional profit.
