A perfect island getaway
We were very satisfied with our weekend island stay at Darrens place. Everything was clean and there was lots to do. Loads of space for everyone and everything was so thought out. A short boat trip away was Tipplers which made for a great breakfast on our way home via our boat! Would definitely recommend
