Relaxing, amazing countryside, beautiful beaches
Pros:

The views were amazing. The extra bits like the water sport equipment was great to be able to have access to. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable.

Cons:

It was a bit warm in the bedroom and a fan would have helped.

We really enjoyed our stay and would return.
Pros:

We loved the location, looking out on the bay, its quiet, the boys found a love for crabbing. The place was clean and well equipped, the beds were comfy and clean.

Cons:

There was a smell of urine in en-suite bathroom in the bedroom on the right as you go in, the room was clean as was the toilet so we think this may be coming from the flooring. Also because of the position of the bed the bathroom door didn't shut.

We enjoyed the stay.
Pros:

Good design, nice view over the water

Cons:

Very noisy at night. Continuous drone from the ship( not your fault) the bed was very squeaky when you moved. Could have done with comfy chairs on the balcony. I had to ask the staff to clean the shower filter
