Once again it was perfect. I can’t review how great this place really is as I want to be able to rebook for next year!! This was our second stay here and it was brilliant. However if you want somewhere with internet this isn’t for you, but if you want peace and quiet and a magnificent location, then this is for you

Relaxing getaway!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. House was very clean and had eveything we needed. Use of kayaks was huge bonus. Property location was close to lots of restaurants and stores, but just far enough from everything to still feel remote and peaceful. We will definitely be back!
