I would highly recommend staying here! The views over the sea are spectacular, pod 6 in particular has amazing views. The pod was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished to a high standard. The pull down sofa bed was very easy to set up and the bunk beds were very cosy for the children. The site was very well maintained, it had a lovely relaxed, safe atmosphere and was in walking distance to the nearest village ( but on a hill). Check-in/out was self service and very smooth with very clear directions. Our host Kerry was very friendly and accommodating. We will absolutely be returning here again. A magical place.
