Nice visit

We enjoyed our stay and liked being able to walk into town(15min walk). The view from the master bedroom balcony was lovely! Annette did a great job of keeping in touch and providing all the information we needed. The only suggestion we had to be a 5 star rating would be to update some of the furnishings/decor.

Family holiday

The house was perfect for our family holiday. Unfortunately the weather was terrible and we only had one sunny day. The games room was a blessing. Driveway was challenging with a boat but we managed. A good time was had by us all.

This was perfect for our family stay of 6 adults, 1 x 7 year old and a 7 month old baby. Well equipped and with plenty to keep the 7 year old amused especially as the weather was very wet! We will return sometime!

two day family stay

We were happy with the accomodation, although a little tired. It rained all weekend and were impressed at all the games and entertainment available to keep the kids and ourselves occupied. Over all, a very relaxing weekend.
