The perfect property and location

We travel a lot and this property was probably the best we have been to. Immaculately clean, beautifully presented, lovely secure garden and amazing location for golf/exploring. Elie is quaint, peaceful and an absolutely delight. Our stay honestly couldn’t have been better, worthy of every five star rated!
