Outstanding accommodation, very well presented, well decorated to an high standard and very very clean. The outside area was beautiful, safe for our dog, and provided several places to allow you to sit around to enjoy the sunshine. We will definitely recommend to friends & hope to return very soon. We had a lovely, relaxed & chilled week, which is exactly what we needed.
