Amazing week! Moyra popped to see us shortly after arrival and made us all feel very welcome. As previous reviews state the house is immaculate and very clean.

I have stayed at this bungalow 8 times,that says it all. I have stayed in self catering cottages for over 35 years. This accommodation is by far the best. Words can't describe how good this place is. Owner and her team are very caring and so much thought has gone into the presentation of this bungalow.

The bungalow was spotlessly clean and the best equipped we have ever come across. The beach with cafe, bar and restaurants was only a few minutes walk. The sunsets from the beach and beer garden were incredible. We were bothered a bit by the road noise but it didnt spoil our wonderful holiday. We would definitely recommend this property.

The cottage is wonderfull. We have have had holidays in cottages around the country and this is the best appointed, comfortable one so far. No veiw of the sea unfortunately but only a short stroll from the sea itself and a very nice cafe which serves very nice breakfasts. Everywhere on the island is easy to reach from this location. Would return inRead more a heartbeat Hide
