Karen
We met the owner who was very friendly and welcoming, he stressed to call if anything was needed. Good size parking space via a lane next to the Botanical Gardens and hand towels, soap and washing up liquid and drying towels provided (which we werenât expecting). Barbeque and private gravelled yard in a quiet setting- fantastic find

On our arrival the cottage seemed a little small but after a day or so we got used to it with everything you need at hand and the spectacular views of the sea, my wife and I both play table tennis and had many games in the games room. Overall a wonderful holiday.
