We loved the velum window so we could hear the ocean (and seagulls) and we certainly felt that we deserved some great food from the very good dining options, after going up and down the stairs!

It had absolutely everything that we needed. And on top of this, this was an extremely cosy pad to spend a few days in. The extra bonus was the position of this property. We enjoyed walking down to the shops without having needed to take the car. Would love to return. Thank you for the wine and biscuits, which we appreciated.
