Ideal for a short stay but not equippped for self-catering and has very little storage space. We found the property smaller than expected and, although warm, it became rather damp when the weather was humid and needed better ventilation. Owners very pleasant and helpful.

With gorgeous beaches not far away, and lots to do in the area within a short drive. The area is nice and quiet. The stars at night will have you mesmerised (clouds permitting). We had a great, relaxing weekend. The dog loved it too!
