I would like to mention the outside front door handle is about to come off it will only take a visitor to pull on it hard and it will break.

Light bulb out in the family bathroom and light bulb out in the ensuite, did mention it for maintenance but not a problem that needed attending while we were there - just for future.

Spotlessly clean and spacious. Very well equipped. It overlooked the bay of South Sands. We had a most enjoyable week. Thank you for making our week relaxing.
