Wonderful views

The property was comfortable and clean. The views were incredible. Could have more frying pans that fit within the hob rings and more kitchen utensils ie proper wooden spoons etc for ease of cooking. The shower was lovely and everything worked well. We would recommend and we would visit again. Thank you for making our stay memorable
