Excellent for a short break
The bungalow was very well equipped and modern. The doggie welcome pack was a very nice touch. We liked the convenience of access to the beach and the little garden made looking after our pet very convenient. We were easy driving distance to the places we wanted to visit on the island.

Nice break
The cottage had was lovely although broken shower head and leaking hose. Without a car this place is a long bus ride to get to the middle and east side of the island. At least an hour each way. The place is dog friendly and each morning we were woken up by yapping dogs that never seemed to stop. My partner made use of the pool which he loved. There is a path to the beach via a coded gate but we were given the wrong code at check-in. Overall it was a nice place to stay and the cottage was kitted out with everything you'd need.
