Comfortable stay


We enjoyed a week long stay over December in the "Shark" at Thornbay Accommodation. Everything was neat and clean with enough space to comfortably accommodate the five of us. The children enjoyed the pool just behind the flat and we had wonderful lessons from Pete on how to prepare fish dishes. We enjoyed strolling to the beach across the street to watch the sun sets.
