    Free swimming and equipment included at the dive centre. Outdoor bbq and fire pit for sunny evenings. Immaculate inside.

    We thought it was a shame the outside woodwork wasn’t better maintained, it’s a lovely house in a beautiful location which we would recommend. The kitchen was lacking in a few things eg measuring jug, garlic press, no pint glasses, Pyrex bowls etc. These are just small things though which didn’t detract from our holiday

    Everything was perfect from the comfy beds, lovely bathrooms, cosy log burner to the fully equipped kitchen. The welcome tray was a really nice touch and much appreciated. Highly recommend.
