"The property is set in the main town which is very handy for going all over the island and near to some useful food shops, but also it is set back from the road and has a great parking area right outside so your vehicle is not on the through road.The facilities were great and we had everything we needed."

"The property is very comfortable and of a very high standard and the location is excellent. We enjoyed our stay with only one slight negative being the directions info (provided by hotels.com) was not accurate. I think we were missing some of the email message text. However, a call to the owner quickly resolved that and we had a lovely stay. Would highly recommend."
