The view from the large windows in the sitting room and the front bedroom are the wow factor! However, to reach such a lofty view, there are a lot of fairly steep steps from the road – maybe 40? It’s a spacious and bright house, tastefully furnished, and we had everything we needed, plus easy access to the town – bars, restaurants, shops, boat trips, ferry, amazing walks, etc. Parking a second car was a challenge, a…

Incredible views. Steps to the beach are a stones throw away, it was the perfect location for our beach and sea loving family. We will be back without the kids next time!

What a fabulous few days we’ve had at Stargazy over Christmas. The location was perfect, off the beaten track, but within reach of pubs/shops etc. The house itself is beautiful with views of the beach and ocean, a wonderful backdrop for Christmas dinner it has to be said. Paul was a fantastic host, always responsive, leaving a bottle of bubbly for our arrival and decorating the lounge with a lovely tree.
