8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
Everything was fine though bathroom facilities are rather cramped. Bedrooms are a good size and beds very comfortable. Kitchen, dining and lounge areas are very good though water tap and delivery pipe in kitchen is loose and could do with some attention.
Location and view from lounge is exceptional.

Reviewer Comments:
It was very relaxing and we had a really good time. The purpose of our trip was to relax, read and chill and this was achieved.Only thing I would point out was that the white towels supplied were not white, they had brown stains and they looked like they had not been washed at all. I was not game to examine the sheets, but hope they were clean. We took our own pillows for sleeping. Plenty of items supplied if you needed in the kitchen which was a nice touch.I didn't like the fact that each communication from the property management was from a different email address. On more than one occasion I thought it was a scam asking for our personal details.
