Relaxing with family around the pool
It was a very spacious house with large bedrooms and living areas. The pool area and bbq area seating were fantastic! The house is aging and could do with some minor maintenance but it was very clean and the kitchen was reasonably equiped.

Beautiful getaway
We had a wonderful stay as a group of friends. It was our own little oasis. The house was clean, and so grand. Some of the guests mentioned that their beds were a bit hard/ not all that comfortable. But otherwise, we had a great stay. We were all commenting how we would like to go back with our families for another stay.

Nice family holiday
House was a great size for our family holiday it fit’s multiple families, good location and close to shops and beaches.
The house could have been cleaner on arrival but nothing too major. Pool is awesome only downside are the webs and spiders under the decking that is above a section of the pool.
Joyce was a pleasure to deal with, great communication.
