    In fact it gets my prize for the cleanest oven we have ever had in a holiday cottage. The owner met us on arrival and explained the facilities and reminded us to get in touch with him if we had any queries. A lovely well thought out holiday home, very close to the beach and close to lots of places we intended to visit.

  • Tracey

    Clean and comfortable and right by the beach. Met at the property by Robert who was at great pains to make sure we were happy with everything. Lovely, friendly welcome. Lots of great places to go, all quite close. Would highly recommend a stay here.
