Itâs a lovely little apartment in a beautiful location. Itâs very clean and comfortable. Thereâs lots to do within a relatively short drive along some fantastic roads. I have no doubt that weâll be back

Great location for exploring the area, and further afield. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and handy. The apartment was clean and comfortable and well equipped. The only thing we couldn't find was a mop to clean the hard floor,at the end of our stay(maybe we just didn't see it). We liked the huge area that was available for our dog to explore and if the weather had been better we would have made more use of the outside extras provided. Great value for money.
