According to my wife Elizabeth and Sister vising from England, the holiday bach was just perfect for our stay. They couldn't of wished for anything better. Beds were so comfortable and it was so peaceful and quiet. The only let down was it rained on our last day. The beach walks was great. Look forward to visiting again.
