May 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, luxurious cabin Lovely place with fantastic views and a sunset to die for. 2 mins walk to beach, very peaceful. The whole place was very high end and well cared for. Sean greeted us at the property, handed us slippers and showed us round. Even brought us 2 chairs for the patio when we asked. We felt we were in a 5\* hotel and a little bit nervous of living up to the exacting standards...every surface was covered, even the sofa. Notices everywhere! Despite that we loved every minute. Only things missing..a dish cloth and a tea towel! Would have been nice to have shower gel etc but no big deal. Washing machine was £3 extra but no washing tablets. ##### Alison S.
