We were so impressed with our stay here - the only thing was the weather did not play it's part. The property had every thing we needed and expected - and more. Will definitely look to stay here again. Location was perfect with loads of cafes, restaurants and supermarket close by and central to everywhere we wanted to visit. Very secure and the whole process with the host was great.
