Such a great place to stay, everything we need and more including a lovely cafe very close. The people are so great to deal with, they go above and beyond. Thank you for making our family stay great
Lovely home with all amenities, clean and tidy, private with shops close by. Would highly recommend.
It was wonderful for our large family to all stay together
Everything was perfect, hosts went out of their way to make sure bedrooms were set up exactly how we needed and were overall very accommodating. Would highly recommend and many thanks for making our experience wonderful.
What a wonderful home to get together with family or friends. It was warm and had enough space for 5 couples. The Spa pool was a hit and having the shops just a short distance away was a bonus. I would definitely recommend this place. Definitely booking again, maybe an annual event :)
We loved our stay here and found it to be big enough for the 15 of us travelling as a sports team. It was awesome that everyone had their own bed. There is an awesome cafe and bakery nearby. It was only 5 min from our sports arena. The spa was a great way to relax after a big game. We would definitely stay here again if we play Palmy in the future :-)
Wonderful! 10 singles meeting for reunion, and was pleasantly surprised to find the house configures with 10 single beds to accommodate. And a lovely welcome note and wine. Property is so cute! 100% recommend
