We loved every minute and explored the peninsula from this base.

We had a great time and the annex with the pool table was fantastic for giving the children something to do. In fact we never really saw them except when we went out. Lovely and clean throughout and really comfortable. The hot tub was a big hit with adults and children alike. Would love to come back sometime.

The only problem we found was the access to the property the bushes are very over grown and could do with cutting back to make it safer to pull out into the road. This would not stop us staying here again the views are amazing.
