Perfect location, clean, new, fresh and everything you need for a great family stay!
Clean, new and had everything we needed for a great family stay.
The garden is only accessible through going outside so we didn’t use it but only a minor point. A new hoover is also needed as I tried to hoover up sand from the beach and failed!
