We were on a short family break looking for a ‘home from home’and we found one. This is a well appointed, stylishly designed and comfortable property with a lovely feel about it in a great location. There are lots of lovely little touches like a small welcome pack, body boards and wetsuits in the ‘boardroom’, games and books. instructions were clear. Especially easy to connect the tv etc. everything had been thought of to make our stay as comfortable and easy as possible - we really appreciated that.
