This holiday chalet was absolutely amazing. Would recommend friends and family. Was very clean and brilliant facilities and utilities within the chalet itself. So peaceful was a well needed break.

This was our first week holiday in about three years, and it was very much needed. The chalet was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and two children. We loved the location and all the thoughtful little touches throughout the chalet.It was wonderful to be able to walk straight to the beach, relax in the garden, and enjoy the hot tub. The whole experience exceeded our expectations.The only slight disappointment was that the BBQ wasn't clean, so unfortunately we weren't able to use it. However, this didn't take away from what was otherwise a fantastic stay. We especially loved the games, the music/Bluetooth facilities, and all the details that made the chalet feel so homely and special.Thank you for a lovely and memorable holiday, we would happily return.

The cottage has everything you need and the views are beautiful. The hot tub was a masive bonus which we thoroughly enjoyed getting in at the end of a long day exploring the island.
