Lovely comfortable house, although the kitchen could have more utensils. Wonderful quiet location, not too far from beaches etc.

We had a lovely stay at Loreto. The property was comfortable and well equipped with a lovely garden. The welcome gifts and fresh flowers were an especially nice touch.The property is a peaceful location but within easy walking reach of local amenities in Fresh Water & the local beach in Freshwater Bay utilising the many local footpaths. There are great walks on Tennyson downs to the needles on your doorstep. Highly recommend this property
