Ligar Bay Modern Bach - Sea View, Free Wi-Fi

8/10 Good
"It was a relaxing stay and great location. It even had toys for the bub in our group. The dishwasher broke down at the start of our stay which isn’t fun for a long weekend stay and for a group (with a baby). Sadly, it couldn’t get fixed on a weekend but the host was very responsive and apologetic. The only comment we had was all the pans were scratched, which isn’t safe for cooking so we used the BBQ. Could use an upgrade to newer pans and bigger pots also would be nice as the house sleeps 6. But overall, nice stay and it was great to have garage access to store our paddle boards and kayaks!"
