Property was neat tidy we had a comfortable stay, views were breathtaking beds comfortable, showers great pressure, whalers being so close was amazing. Beautiful holiday home. It was a little unorganised and cluttered in kitchen cupboards and bath did need to be cleaned along with some dishes as they were dirty on arrival from last guest. Would stay again 😃

Our family group stayed for several days to attend a wedding. The upstairs and downstairs provided excellent accommodation and space for everyone to relax. We loved the location and the magnificent view from the huge balcony - easily accommodating the comings and goings over that period and making for a very happy experince
