The lounge chairs were really not suited to sitting, more laying, and while the kitchen had almost everything we needed, only six knives and no fish slice was mildly surprising. It took some time to master turning the lounge TV on each night. We found the accommodation suited us perfectly but the welcome book was occasionally confusing eg bins, where instruction seemed to say bag everything and use a single bins, yet a small divided rubbish system was there as if recycling was our responsibility. Would certainly stay again. Ideal for seeing the island, quiet location, etc

The view from the property is amazing. The house matched the photos in the listing but the garden could do with some TLC. Shrubs need cutting back and grass was a little long but overall it was a lovely place to stay. I was a little worried about the access to the property down a narrow lane but we have an Audi Q5 and it was OK to drive down with care. The house is so well equipped with everything you could think of and was lovely and clean. Linings of the curtains in the double room need sorting and batteries in some of the TV remotes need replacing but they were minor details and didn't affect our holiday. I would definitely return to the property again!

The house was extremely comfortable, spacious for us (family of 5 with dog) and it had everything you might need in the kitchen, smart TV for those with kiddies and early nights, beds very comfy and a lovely outside space. Access and parking not an issue for us at all. Highly recommend and will return... thanks for a sharing your lovely home
