Summary: Was great location to everything in happy valley. We loved the convenience of being able to walk to the shop/pub and the beach. Also the fact that our friends were in walking distance from us. The care takers Jacquie & Russell were more than accommodating they were friendly and had a wealth of information on the island. A few suggestions on the accommodation we had 12 people staying in our unit there was not enough towel racks or hooks to hang your bath towels,There was 1 fridge per unit was not enough for 12 people for 7 nights. We loved the open kitchen outside it brought all the group together at meal times and became our communal hang out space. Over all we were really happy with the accommodation and would recommend it.
