Unfortunately we chose the coldest week on the island in most people's memory, so we didn't use the pool and could have done with a heater at night. But normally this would not be a problem. The outlook is beautiful and we enjoyed the park and beach outside the back door. While Picnic Bay is the quietest part of the island it has a pub, wine bar, cafe and two excellent restaurants. ##### Colin W.
