Good value
Good, the overall property is excellent. Great position and we hope to return in the future with the family. The negatives were purely in the main those which come with many rental properties. Mostly equipment needing an update. Kettle so heavily scaled we got another . Couldn’t use dishwasher because tablet holder wouldn’t stay shut.Just had a beautiful new carpet though out so perhaps a work in progress. Host Becky very helpful on phone. Lovely part of the world and a well run complex. Happy to recommend and intending to return

Zalig verblijf
Het huis was echt zoals op de foto's. Alle vragen werden door de gastvrouw beantwoord en de locatie is rustig. Zeer tevreden!
