Amazing Cosy Bungalow

This Bungalow was in lovely surroundings and well located to all facilities. The attention to detail in the bungalow was top quality. The little added touches, we had chocolate brownies and a fruit platter waiting for us, were amazing and very unexpected. The hosts, Denise and Ian, were extremely helpful and friendly. Ian, can you please let John know when the submarine races are on so we can book the bungalow and get back down there to watch it. Thank you again to you both for such a lovely set up and your kindness. Hope to see you again soon, John and Lisa
