We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The cottage was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had everything we could have wanted for a relaxing stay.The location was fantastic, and it was lovely having such a peaceful place to come back to after a day out exploring. You could really tell that a lot of thought had gone into making the cottage feel welcoming and homely, there were no corners cut with the time and money clearly spent making this place the way it is. We honestly couldn’t fault our stay and would happily come back again. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a lovely, relaxing getaway!P.S - Make sure you greet the ducks, swan and robot lawn mower! They’re all friendly and polite :)

This cottage is equiped to a very high standard with luxuary bedding, towels and equipment. The outside patio area overlooks lawns and a wooded area where there is a small lake. The hot tub is positioned in a secluded area where it is great to sit and contemplate the day.Located in the north of the island close to the wildlife park, this is a great base for visits to the many attractions just a short drive away.We would highly recomend a stay here.

Myself and my mum had a wonderful stay at Bumblebee Cottage with our two dogs. It’s rare to find a property that is truly ‘dog friendly’ and Ballavolley is just that. The cottage was modern and clean with comfy big beds. It felt like a real home from home and the surrounding grounds were perfect to walk the dogs of an evening.
