Nice place but
Location is great and place is nicely set up open plan layout with pool table which the kids loved. The only issue we had was the general cleanliness of the place it could really use a good clean. Rugs and floor mats also need replacing. These things bring down the experience of an otherwise nice property.

Excellent holiday getaway
A great holiday home that had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Lots of interesting places to explore within walking distance as well as a good base to explore the rest of the island. The house was large, clean and comfortable and our sons (9yo & 11yo) loved the pool table.

With a little TLC it would have been better
House spacious, but only one aircon to heat the entire house left us a bit too cool. Also the towels were mostly threadbare and the appliances, cutlery and bbq left a bit to be desired. Mostly just old and tired. If owner spent a bit of money modernising and increasing attention to detail it would have been far nicer. The pool table was great for the kids, but the "no shoes" inside the house was a.bit tedious and frustrating. This is a nice enough house, but we felt it lacked finesse.

Relaxing
Great little spot and very scenic..
Disappointed that the add refers to having a fireplace when in fact there isn't.. Apart from that enjoyed our stay
