    Alby was a great host and made us feel right at home. Each chalet had a heat pump which was nice and cosy considering the bad weather. Beautiful views over the bay too. We'd definitely stay again next time we're in Thames.

    Albi the host was so warm and welcoming getting us settled quickly and comfortably given the horrible weather. The cottage itself was spacious, warm and well equipped.
