What to expect
Home truths
Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car for ease of getting around.
The swimming pool is communal and is open from the 30th of May to the 30th of September.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a small hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
