    Our stay here was amazing! Michelle was a great host, always there to help us with anything we needed and cooked a great breakfast. She even gave us a lift to town a couple of times as we didn’t have a car. The room was perfect, nice big beds and a small outdoor seating area. The outdoor pool space was lovely too, very luscious with all the trees.
