Thank you for your kind words Therese, glad you enjoyed your stay!
Short trip for my son and I to play golf at Rosapenna. The cottage is spacious, well appointed and comfortable. Would recommend to both golfers and beach goers
Maison spacieuse absolument conforme aux photos juste 2 points d’amélioration- impossible de mettre nos poubelles à l’endroit indiqué puisque les conteneurs étaient archi plein-alors que la maison est très propre tout ce qui concerne la batterie de cuisine laisse à désirer en quantité et surtout en propreté ce qui n’est pas le cas pour la vaiselle
