Home truths
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking available here.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The swimming pool, open between 30th April and 30th September, isn't fenced. If you're bringing children, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The third bedroom can be prepared as a double or twin on request. Set up as a double, it will be two single beds pushed together.
Weekly towel and bed linen changes are included here.
