“Perfect!”

Reviewed 14 Aug 2022

House was just perfect. Everything we needed was there and the patio and private path to the shore were welcome additions. Rosemary the owner and Mary the housekeeper checked in on us a couple of times during the week and we had a walk round the owners garden ( with her permission). Stunning view. We were blessed with amazing weather so were out a lot but it was a comfortable and well equipped house for our annual family holiday. We would definitely use again.
