We stayed in a three bedroom chalet that was very well appointed, clean, comfortable and homey. Management staff were very help with local dining and activity tips and suggestions. They even offer loaner mini-shovels for hot water beach excavations!
When returning to the chalet in the late afternoon the interior was very hot as is probably expected summer without any a/c. However without any screens on the windows or sliding doors it was difficult to air without inviting bugs into the home. Our solution was to just return home later in the evening.

No AC
I should have noticed before booking, but be advised it does not have Air Conditioning. They leave windows open which does help significantly, however by dark there were about 30 bugs in the bathroom from leaving that window open.

Wat een leuke plek, zeker omdat je echt dichtbij alle belangrijke baaitjes zit! Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien. We misten alleen een airco! Het was daardoor te heet. Maar verder top!

The cottage was super clean, really well set up kitchen, beautiful decor inside and nice landscaping outdoors. Great location, would highly recommend Flaxmill
Accommodation and surroundings gardens was excellent, best we have stay at.
Only downside was main seating in lounge area, 2 wicker seats, these were very uncomfortable.
