Absolute comfort in style; the perfect home away from home for our 2 week stay! Everything we could have needed was provided by our gracious hosts and the location lent itself perfectly to all we could have wanted.

The amenities were excellent. Close to some shops and the Bally Hotel. The only complaint that we have is, that the tv wasn’t good. The internet was dropping out all the time or it wouldn’t connect. It would be much better if it was on the aerial only not by wifi. If wifi was needed, then you can connect yourself, if you wanted Netflix or other things on internet.
