Location was perfect , disappointed that we could not access through the back of the property no back door entrance especially when you have dogs with you A bit of a fire risk only having one entrance in and out of the property
Beautiful cozy house ideal for 6 to 8 people. The house overall was very clean and tidy except for the bedroom upstairs, the bed was a bit smelly. Very close to the back beach and a a few coupe of minutes drive to the town centre. We enjoyed every moment in the house and would highly recommend it.
Very nice place to stay and unwind from your daily life. Place very close to the beach, everything you need for your stay is available specially things in the kitchen, very quiet place, thus very relaxing.
