The bungalow was fab and had every thing we needed.. The garden area was great for the dog and a family bbq. The area is close enough to visit many places of interest. The only negative is that on arrival they didn't supply a small bottle milk or tea/coffee which would have been nice as most places do offer this now....especially after a long trip.
