Accommodation is exactly as shown in pictures with a “beautiful” location. Bedrooms were lovely with very comfortable beds. 2 bathrooms were great with 4 adults. Kitchen was well-equipped and washer and dryer were “a blessing” with all the rain. The only negative was “no Wifi”, which would have been very helpful for travellers from abroad.
