Thank you! Everything about our stay was amazing. The kitchen has all the equipment you need. The kids had fun in the playroom with all kinds of board games, my grandson with Xbox and table tennis and everyone with a Harry Potter room. They were all super happy. The adults admired the amazing garden with sea view, the garden is like in a fairy tale, congratulations. Thank you again for our great stay! We will be happy to visit you again and will certainly recommend you to friends.

Amazing house and garden perfect for friends and family
We loved this house! It was just perfect for 3 families with children to have a short break. The children loved the amazing garden with all its nooks and hiding places. The dorm and playroom were also ideal for them. What an adventure they had! The kitchen was well equipped and the house had everything we needed. The location was also great with just a short walk to the beach. We would definitely come again!
