Winter break
The property was absolutely ideal and was certainly put through its paces with a 1-yr old and a 93 yr-old spanning the years and requirements for a true holiday break. Great having two living room spaces and excellent sized and well-equipped kitchen. Elspeth was extremely helpful and it was reassuring to know she was contactable if necesary.

Family get away
This far exceeded my expectations, for 3 generations it was ideal having 2 lounges. Every room is large enough for everyone to be together if you want or room to spread out. The location is excellent, with easy access to various places of interest. The view of the sea and ireland in the distance was an added bonus
