“What a wonderful holiday in wonderful surroundings”
We had the most fantastic holiday here! Safe surroundings for young children, spotlessly clean and nicely decorated accommodation plus the most helpful and friendly owners made our holiday perfect. If children are happy, then parents are happy and this is what Richard and Nicky's place offers. Huge amount of outside space for little ones to explore, lovely pool area (heated pool was great!) and an extra bonus for rainy days was the 'hanger' where children could play but stay dry. We all really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place anytime.
