The property has a great layout for socialising. The lovely spacious kitchen is very well equipped and has a great sea view. It was perfect for our three fur babies as the terrace is fully enclosed and secure. It is well positioned for local amenities. We visited a great fish & chip shop on the first night, Fridays. We also discovered great wood fired pizzas at the very friendly Penrhyn arms only a 3 minute drive away. All in all a fabulous week.

With the beach literally at the doorstep it was a pleasure to step out and walk with the dogs every morning. Dartans was spacious, comfortable and felt relaxing. There was certainly plenty to do - both within walking distance and a short drive away. I would certainly love to visit again.
