The house was beautifully kept and had everything we needed. The beds and sofas were all comfy, the kitchen was well kitted out and the wood burning stove had a plentiful supply of wood. The house was perfect for bunkering down during the stormy weather!

We stayed for 5 nights and it was lovely. The property is clean, the kitchen is well equiped, and the bed in the main bedroom is really comfortable. It is on 3 levels, with lots of stairs. Views are gorgeous, and the TV lounge gets the afternoon sun. There is a Co-op at the bottom of the road (very convenient). It's a quick walk down to the beach, Read morebut the walk back is very steep (there is a bus). The road is quite narrow, but we manged to park our car (VW Polo) in the driveway easily. Hide

Was a good holiday let. Bit the parking is crazy it's a mission to get on the drive. Could do with a TV in the lounge downstairs save the elder members of the holiday having yo go up and down all those stairs every time someone needs a drink.

Superbly presented, clean and very tidy cottage, the views from the lounge and the top bedroom were amazing. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment, and very clean. There is a courtyard out the back, with the sun there in the morning this was a lovely space. The beds were very comfy bedding are lovely quality. Parking is a little tight, but This iRead mores what you expect from a small seaside town. You are on a hillside, the views make up for this. Hide

A beautifully decorated house, so spacious and comfortable, and superbly equipped. Couldn't stop looking at the views, and the sunsets were amazing. Parking was no problem. The house is on top of a hill which was a bit of a climb, but we walked down and got the bus back. Bus stop was nearby, and a very good service. We loved it and would definitelyRead more return.
