We had a fantastic stay. The house was cosy and clean. The deck was perfect for an evening of wine and dine and there was plenty to do/plenty of space for the little ones.A few minutes walk to a spectacular beach and a dairy/takeaway shop down the road.

Tidy place lots of kitchen utensils and crockery etc however some basics would be nice like couple of tea bags, salt and pepper, few rolls of toilet paper. Bit difficult when you turn up at night and there's no toilet paper

Apologies for the lack of toilet paper. The lady who prepares the property for us must have overlooked this when getting the house ready.

Very tidy property - warm and inviting inside. Plenty of room for our group. Only a 2 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute to the local dairy. We really enjoyed our brief stay here - would love to spend longer another time. Thanks to our welcoming host.
