Guestbook
We had an awesome time, every thing was thought for even a Christmas tree. Thank you very much; we will defiantly recommend you to our family and friends. Name: v yousif and s alsabie.
We all had such a wonderful time at your holiday home - Jill was very helpful and welcoming and it was lovely to be greeted with flowers and champagne, everything beautifully clean with comfortable beds and lovely linen and it was so good to have a decent laundry! We relaxed, sailed out in the dinghy and kayak, the kids waded and fell over in the sand, we played games on the lawn and soaked in the spa. Even when we had a couple of bad weather days it was very easy to occupy ourselves. It's such a comfortable, spacious and easy house to live in and when there were all 8 of us we never felt overcrowded.
We would certainly hope to return and will definitely be telling friends about your lovely home. Thank you very much.
