My parents stayed here as a Christmas gift…very clean and spacious. Communication was excellent. Well appointed and well stocked with supplies. Very central location. It was just the two of them, but would be perfect for bigger families.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well designed so everyone has their own space. Beds comfortable. Great amenities and there’s a coffee machine (capsules supplied) which made my day each morning. The house caters for all ages. Great for families. My teenagers loved the choice of DVDs, books, board games, the Wii game console and of course WiFi. A short 5 minute walk to the beach and close walking range to town centre. 7 minute drive to the race track. Thank you Henri.
