First of all, let me start with the two very minor negatives. One is that the WiFi does not work a lot of the time and when it did on our stay, it worked best outside of our cottage. The other was that the pool was not as heated as much as we would have liked. BUT, this is about having a holiday and getting away from e-mail and the like. Also, due to the sun, the pool area is quite warm which means you can dry off quickly. The bottom line is that it is a swimming pool, not a sauna and like all pools, it is going to be cold at first.

The couple that own the place are warm and helpful. We instantly felt welcome by them and they offered advice on where and when to go to the local market as well as where to eat. The place is beautiful and took our breaths away on entering it. We were shown where to park, off road by the way, and they helped us with our bags. There is a dog, but her bark is worse than her bite. While the kids were scared of her at first as she is big, they quickly got used to her and I am waiting for them to pester be about having a dog. (If you do not like dogs, they will keep her away.)

My wife booked this place and I thought it looked great, but I thought it was too good to be true.

And if you are to eat outside, try Le8.

We loved the DVD's that were available and the kids loved watching the television when needed, a useful addition at the end of the day. The kitchen was put to good use and with the provision of a dishwasher the kids did not get to break anything. Eating outside was lovely, especially as there was live music twice outside on the Quay. The kids loved the vines in the garden, being able eat sun warmed grapes was a new experience for them. Fiji would come round for food but was well behaved enough to just look at us feeling very sad.

We loved it. And this is certainly somewhere that we would consider returning to. In fact, I think our children will be annoyed if we do not return!

We were told about a river beach which is a short walk away (and even shorter drive) which the kids loved as there is a park nearby. This means that if you (like us) did not like the pool, you have somewhere even better to go. They loved being able to swim in the river (the swimming area is marked and there is a lifeguard) and there is also a park at the top of the beach area.
