We were an inter generation family of 10with 4 young grandchildren and the bungalow provided masses of space for everyone. The bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable and there was plenty of play space. The large flat garden and the views were fabulous. It was an excellent base for the iow and I would highly recommend it.

We were led to believe that there was a bbq as part of the bungalow but there was not one for us to use. It was an amazing space for us all to stay together, we was not able to get into the bungalow earlier due to being told it was being cleaned, but when we arrived it was not as clean we we expected. The floors were quite dirty and there were still dust and cob webs behind the doors (example bathroom doors), so seems just the surfaces were taken care of and there was still food and children's pens down the side and back of sofas from someone's previous visit. The kids loved the park as it was a great place to take them in the evening to burn off some energy.

We had a lovely week here, the location is perfect for exploring the island. The cottage was clean and well equipped, especially the kitchen which had an airfryer and slow cooker as well as the usual hob and oven and 2 fridges/freezer. A good amount of quality kitchen equipment too. Good quality bed linen and towels provided as well as hand soap.We had an infestation of ants, but this was quickly resolved when we spoke to the reception team as they came and sprayed along the wall and door into the kitchen. We visited during a very hot week. Four of the bedrooms and the living room get the sun most of the day, making it very hot. Two pedestal fans were provided which helped, but the games room was a cooler retreat for the evening. The site where the cottage was located was very peaceful, despite being busy. There's an excellent children's playground and a short dog walking area.
