Wonderful relaxing accommodation

It was a real treat to stay in this house. The views are very lovely the sound of the sea to lull you to sleep at night. Walking distance to the beach and also plenty of beautiful walking trails in and around the bay. Hosts were always available fi we needed anything but the house had all we needed for a very comfortable stay. Kitchen well equipped and although no oven there was an air fryer and cooktop so we didn't miss not having one. We would dearly love to stay again and highly recommend this to other travellers.
