Sep 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Break This property is an ideal base to explore the island. It is spacious with lovely views over the countryside where you can see plenty of wildlife. Where it is situated gives you the opportunity to use the on-site facilities but far enough away to ensure peace and quiet. We had some very minor problems which did not spoil our stay and Justine and her team dealt with them straight away. 10/10 for customer service, thank you again. We would definitely recommend this property. ##### Christine E. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie N.

Everything you could possibly need provided in the accomodation. We didn't really use the onsite facilities but they all looked ok. The beach was lovely and only a short walk. ##### Marie N.
