Summary: What a fantastic property for a family gathering! We had littles aged 2 and children 5 & 9 plus parents and grandparents and everyone had the most wonderful time. The property s has so much to do including a bonus kitchen garden with herbs and tomatoes and an apple tree! The beach has plenty of water toys including SUP’s, kayaks and canoes. The kitchen is very well equipped and the tv offer is streaming services so there is something for everyone.The host made the check in process seamless. We will be back!
