We are a family of 4 with a young child and a baby and it was a great base for the many beautiful beaches in the area. Beni provided a cot for the baby which was great and it has a built in stairgate which provided peace of mind. We cooked every night although remember to bring your salt, pepper and oil as there was none there (the holiday cottage lottery!). Lovely comfy beds too

On the negative side, the cottage does not have a view and The games room needs maintenance.
