Had a nice stay. Right by the water which was lovely, has all the basic amenities, close to town. Did have a small ant problem in the cabin I was in, I didn’t mention it to reception because I had it under control and it cleared up on my second day. Comfy beds, bathrooms always free and kitchen nice and tidy.

This is a very clean self-contained suite in a quiet holiday park. The kitchenette was a nice size with all expected amenities. It was nice to be able to hire swimming towels. The staff were very pleasant. The park was within an easy 10 minute walk of the passenger ferry and all amenities. Larger grocery shops are just a few minutes’ drive away.
