“This place was above expectations, it was amazing. My discerning mother could not fault it. The views were amazing, sitting in bed in the morning watching the harbour activity was so relaxing, from all the windows fabulous views. The place was spotlessly clean, brilliant that no pets are allowed. Every little detail has been thought of such as the low level lights that come on if you need to get up to go to the toi…

3 nights wasn’t long enough. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility with the sounds of the waves and the view from the lounge was the best. We’re not hikers but there are some lovely walks along the coastal path and the sea swims were wonderful. Just 3 friends having some respite from life and work, couldn’t if asked for a better location.

Just back from a fantastic three nights at the place. The location of the house is fabulous, just 1-2 minutes walk from the beach. It felt very homely and comfortably sleeps 8 Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the sea and beach was sublime. Drinks up in the bar on the top decking at the back of the house in the evening with stunning views was real bonus. There are plenty of games to keep you occupied and we didn’…
