It was great in many ways, however because of the hot weather it was quite hot. Trying not to get mosquitos you could not really open the windows when the lights are on.The kitchen building was good to air. There was also a nice outdoor undercover area with a big table , wooden bench and barbecue plus a drink fridge. The main building had zircon, just as well, because there are no windows. It also has a fire pit, where you could burn some wood and eat marschmallows. ##### Dineke K.

Gavin was very helpful and communicative, and the bach was located close to the beach. Only very minor issues were that the kitchen/oven wasn't super easy to work with, and that one of the outside bins hadn't been emptied and had a bunch of rubbish loose on the top of it, but otherwise the place was spotless, and worked really well. Very happy with our stay. ##### Florence R. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ---
