Good place but spar does not get hot enough
Liked this place but there were a few problems. Spar bath did not heat up enough so did not use it. Toilet seats all loose. My son had to fix an exit door as it was broken and when we arrived the cupboard door in the kitchen was detached and leaning on the brick wall in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the location was not to bad. View was spectacular. Just dissapointed the spar did not work as we payed for this.

We stayed for a family birthday, everything you needed was provided with lovely clean linen and beach towels. 4 of the older children stayed in the downstairs bedroom, thoroughly enjoyed their own space as did the adults. Great enclosed back yard good for games for the children.
