What recent reviews say

Most guests praise the large private pool, spacious layout, and cleanliness, especially families returning for repeat stays. One recent visitor reported air conditioning shortfalls, narrow parking with access issues, and faulty appliances (iron, water heater), though the owner responded quickly to earlier technical problems.

The gated property offers karaoke, complete kitchen equipment, and security. Staff accommodate walk-ins readily. Parking remains a consistent pinch point: the main entrance requires passing the owner's car, and the wider alternative was intentionally blocked during one stay. Wheelchair access slopes steeply and slips in wet conditions.

Guests consistently praise the calm village setting and good value for money, with spacious rooms that sleep four to six people and plenty of parking. The owner is responsive and rooms include all essentials, though the access road is rough for first-timers and water temperature can swing with the weather.
