Absolute Gem

Perfect amount of space for 2 couples, close to everything, well appointed. The spa was massive (and a big highlight), the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfy. Particulary impressed with how fast the hot water came on and no issues with it running out, even in April when it was getting quite cool.
