This trip was our third time staying here. We always feel at home here and this time was no exception. It’s so warm and relaxing. The place really needs some wifi as the tv coverage was absolutely hopeless. Definitely will be going back for a fourth time at some stage.

Hi Glenn, thanks for your repeat visits. However it's disappointing for the low review which has a significant negative impact on us. presumably because of poor TV signal and no wifi. This is the first time any issues with TV signal has been mentioned. There is many ways to contact us during your stay with any issues or comments. Which gives us the opportunity to respond and rectify any issues. To ensure your stay is great. But please note this is family Bach and it is not advertised with wifi. Nor will it be installed.
