The cottage needed extra cleaning when we arrived, but staff were fantastic to try and help. Some of the furniture was tired for a cottage claiming to be a luxury accommodation. But the hot tub, pool, staff and colwell bay made the trip lovely.

Really great spot so close to the beach and walk to the local pub/restaurant. Pool on site looked great though I didn't use. Everything I needed in my cottage with lovely bonus of a hot tub after a long walk. Got there by public transport and didn't need a car as bus stop right near the entrance.

Rooms were spotless and in really good condition. Had everything you needed with a nice outdoor slace. Wasnt a surprise as we had already read that there is zero internet. But this is a real shame in this day and age. Not sure how practical it would be, but would have been nice to purchase basic items like bread and milk. No a show stopper as there is a Tesco only 5min drive. Overall would definitely recommend it.

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.

Although the resort was clean and had excellent activities for children. Gate was missing from patio area of the lodge leading out onto the road, with hard gavel standings on the lodge outside area so not suitable for young children.

Incredible location and hottubs

Loved the appartments and hot tub! Amazing location too. On the downside there was water leaking on the floor when you stepped on a certain panel. Also the checkout is very early and checkin very late. I sent a question about the late checkin but didn’t receive a response.

Pleasant

It’s a really lovely chalet arrangement. Staff are friendly and welcoming. There was no Wi-Fi in the chalet and the cleanliness average but not as well equipped as we are use to. Just a few extra wouldn’t go unnoticed such as a couple of blankets a couple of extra glasses and cutlery maybe. But to finish on a positive the Hot tub was well maintained as well as the pool an overall nice place to stay close to the beach and many other attractions.
