Verification
Details last confirmed against the property's own site on 1 August 2026.
What we could not confirm: The published rate table is labelled with 2023 and 2024 seasons and the minimum-stay rules are given against 2022 dates, so both may now be out of date. The site does not state whether a car is essential.
