Blissful week

The property was exactly as it looked in the pictures, it was airy, clean and spacious with lots of room for the whole group to get together but plenty of quieter space for some 'me time'. We already know the island and have lots of family there and Jan and Callum offered to come and extend our table if they were coming over, asked where we needed safety gates and provided top class toddler safe equipment. The weather was great so we made very good use of the local.beaches and garden too. Great hosts and we look forward very much to coming and staying again if we may.

Great home, location and hosts!

We were a large group staying at the property for 4 nights. The place was just perfect. There was enough space, every utensil or item you needed was there, everything was good quality, the beds and towels were soft and comfortable. We made full use of everything we could, including the lovely little walk to the serene+almost secluded beach, the great BBQ facilities and the Internet TVs and fireplaces. We would absolutely stay here again in the future without hesitation. Callum and Jan were the perfect hosts! Thank you both - look forward to seeing you again! Latifa and Family

A lovely place to stay

We had a wonderful stay. The property is lovely with lots of homely touches. The hosts were really friendly and helpful - from a warm welcome with some milk and eggs in the fridge to advice about what to do on the island. I particularly enjoyed looking at the view from the sitting room in the light summer evenings.
