It was really clean when we arrived. The beds were comfortable and it felt like home from home. We had some beverages on arrival which was a welcomed gift. I havenât stopped talking about the house and we canât wait to re book. Thank you for making this week away enjoyable.

The outside area is great and the open plan living is lovely. However, we found the area not great for teenagers. We had to drive everywhere to find anything fun for them to do and thatâs not always fun as the roads away from the property are not for the faint hearted. Where the roads are so narrow, what you think is a short journey in mileage actually ends up taking double the time. The house is also extremely hot! I honestly donât know how we would have coped if the weather was any warmer. I think an investment in some air conditioning would be a good idea. Going downstairs for the toilet was also a little annoying, but I am 8 months pregnant so probably annoyed me more than it usually would. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommended it to people who enjoy walking and the beach, it just didnât quite suit our needs at this moment in time :)
