BEST ??? BIRTHDAY LONG W/E STAY OF ALL TIME

Beautifully set up holiday stay with a wonderful outlook and view for BBQs and rests. We didn't want to leave and certainly would stay here again. Big PLUS is the giant table and lounge outside taking advantage of the view - and the BBQ of course. Huge thanks to Kate and Pip for all the thought you have put into everything one needs to provide a home away from home.
