Once inside, a flight of steps from the hallway leads you down to the sitting-room with dining-area, a lovely bright room. Relax on the comfy sofas, perfectly placed for cosying up around the wood-burner on a cool evening, with shelves full of books, films and board games for your entertainment. Your holiday is off to a great start.

For a more formal dining experience the large dining-table adequately caters for all the family feasting and those oh so delicious after supper drinks and chats.
Across the hall take a small step up into the beautiful kitchen which is fully fitted and expertly kitted out with all you could need for your holiday menu. The main staircase leads up to the first floor with three beautifully furnished bedrooms along with the family bathroom, the lovely deep roll-top bath is perfect for soaking in and daydreaming after a long day exploring the island.

Next door is a good size double room with plenty of space to snuggle up with either a good book or watch a film on the Smart TV. Bedroom three also overlooks the rear courtyard.
