Testimonials
"Usually when I have taken my sister for a holiday, I am ready for a holiday afterwards- not this time! She has stayed well and the facilities for accessibility make so much difference. We have both loved our time here."- Anne and Denise, Nov 22
"This is our third time staying at the Villas. The first two times we loved and found the Villas clean, big and well supplied. This time the Villas have been renovated. They are fantastic and access for people with mobility issues is great. The shower is brilliant and having a shower chair and rails really helped me."- Diane, Oct 22
