Great location with potential for wild weather. Great walking area and good bird watching all over island. If you need fast broadband and WiFi then get starlink!

Third time we've stayed here. Not as clean as it has been previously, I think the cleaning team has been changed. When we phoned the housekeeper we were told we could probably have access by lunch although our official entry time should have been 4pm. I can see why looking at the cleaning jobs that wernt finished. A shame, not sure we would stay here a fourth time. The dishwasher had plates and cutlery left in it, we had to put away on arrival and the washing machine had wet sheets left in it (which had been washed at 30, which I was surprised at for hygiene reasons). The oven was clean but the baking trays pretty much unusable owing to the state of them. I went out and bought new ones for out stay.
