Guest comments
I just wanted to thank you for renting your place to us, we had a great time and the area was absolutely amazing, we will definitely be revisiting!
The fruit and veg market really was fantastic and we couldn't get over how cheap it was. Fruit and veg will never be the same again.
Just to let you know the house was great and just perfect for the 2 families. The pool was absolutely ideal with the broad steps for the little ones to play on.
We all really loved the house and it was truly home from home.
