If you want remote peace and quiet with views to die for then this is it. You like sailing and messing on the sea then this is the place. Wagon has been done beautifully and is so homely and cosy. Stunning views across the bay. We will definitely be back. Cant fault anything as everything was catered for. 10 out of 10 for wagon. Amazing place.
