We had a lovely stay at this property. Large bedrooms which are very comfortable. House well equipped. Our slim dog did manage to slip under one of the damaged fences/gap in the garden, which we then secured with additional larger rocks (was fine after this but initially was a worry). Short walk to Freshwater beach. Travelled the whole island, persRead moreonally we preferred this side. Freshwater Bay is very pretty with good walks. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday then I would recommend. Hide

very clean, well equipped and comfortable, good heating/plenty of hot water. Our weather was not the best and the island had been suffering from the very wet winter so the nearest beach was slightly the worse but it was sandy and looked as if it could be good in the summer
