The apartment is absolutely immaculate and has everything you could possibly need. Chris, the owner is very kind and on hand if you were to need anything or advice on the area etc. This beautifully appointed apartment is right by the lake and just minutes from Swanpool beach which is perfect. Thank you to Chris for the superb welcome pack which has to be the best weâve ever received! We will definitely be back and look forward to visiting this stunning part of the UK again.

The property was like new in a fantastic location, the owner was very helpful, our trips in the area were very enjoyable. We will visit again Thank You. 5 STARS My only rub is with SYKES. They booked us with wrong dates, were never available to correct their mistake, Ii wrote two polite letters to their Chief executive who never replied. Their cancellation policy stinks. But for the co operation of my bank who withheld some of the Barclaycard payment we would have been more than £500 out of pocket. Sykes behaviour was appalling. NEVER AGAIN will i use them.
