We had a lovely holiday in this property. It was well equipped, and conveniently located for exploring the area. The wifi was good most of the time and Marion, the owner, was very helpful and quick to respond to any issues we had.

difficult to review as it poured with rain every day so we were not able to make the most of it. But the host is particularly nice and helpful.
