Beautiful accommodation

Our accommodation was perfect. So comfortable and well equipped. Had everything we needed for our stay. Such high quality appliances and kitchen equipment. Everything was new and spotless. Comfy beds. We really appreciated the toiletries and provisions that were provided too. We had teenagers with us but anyone with small children would love the kids bedroom and toys/books and all the baby equipment
