There is everything you would need in the property and the large garden was a bonus, especially in the evenings for watching lovely sunsets. We had plenty of room with 2 adults and two teenagers. Owners really friendly and on hand if needed.

Our friends found difficulty accessing their luggage. The fan in the bathroom did not appear to be working and the room fogged up with each shower. It was a very suitable modern unit, The dishwasher was appreciated.
