No hesitation in highly recommending The Clays. Beautifully presented, spotless and Lynn has thought of everything you could want for a very comfortable stay.
We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back. Lynn was very welcoming and was on hand if help was needed. Thank you.
A wonderful cottage, spectacular views, peaceful, good location for exploring the Isle, we will be back!
This was our first time at The Clays and we loved it. Lynn made us feel really welcome checking that we had everything and showing us how to use the hot tub. In addition, the welcome pack she provides is the best we have experienced in any of the Island Escape Cottages we have stayed in.The beds were really comfortable and the space and luxury feel of The Clays made our stay very pleasurable. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and will look to stay again soon.
I have stayed in one of the other properties within this gated area.This is one reason why i chose this property. My wife & i relaxed on the patio overlooking the wonderful views, so peaceful.The area is very private and the surrounding are very well maintained.Thanks to Lynn and her team for the great hospitality and fantastic properties they provide. Would recommend 100%.
We had an amazing time at the cottage. The cozy atmosphere, charming decor, and serene surroundings made for a perfect getaway. The attention to detail in every aspect of the cottage, from the comfortable beds to the well-equipped kitchen, exceeded our expectations. I can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories in this little slice of paradise.
As first time visitors to the island we appreciated the above and beyond assistance Lynn gave to make our stay as comfortable and fun for the kids as possible. We all thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi.We will definitely be returning soon.
