Perfect location with all you need. We did get confused at checking in because we had not been emailed the address and the directions on the app took us to the wrong house and then the mobile given to us was incorrect, but we worked it out in the end! And it was worth it. The dishwasher was broken but the owner gave us a late check out which made the short stay so much better and was very appreciated. It is a very clean property with such flexibilty for a family group, that we are booking again for a pre Christmas stay! Highly recommended ##### Helen E.

This lovely property with it's stunning sea views provided us with a very pleasant weekend away where we felt like we could totally relax and unwind. I particularly liked the queen bedroom configurations in all 4 rooms as we were all adults and didn't have to sleep in kid's bunk beds. All the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were modern and clean. The space was modern and comfortable and provided all we needed. The bbq on the generous balcony was a definite bonus. Clean and comfortable beds and clean and uncluttered living space made our weekend a joy. We will definitely return perhaps with our dog, especially now that we know that dogs are welcome. :) ##### Penny Y. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steph H.
