I was provided with a number to contact incase I did need anything. The lady was so helpful throughout. We arrived at the property and we were blown away. The place itself was even nicer than the photos, (which already looked lovely!). We were greeted with a welcome package, and a lovely clean place for our Christmas stay. We had information about the town, a gorgeous view of the harbour and its a stoneâs throw away from the town itself. This is the first time we have been away as a family for Christmas and it couldnât have been any nicer. The place is spotless! It is a credit to whoever owns/runs this. A really big thank you for making our Christmas magical, we wish we could do this all over again! Jessica.
