Nice house with good views of the sea.
If you enjoy being close to the sea this property is ideal. There are good views especially from the garden. The house is comfortable and warm. The owners are very responsive and have provided for most needs. Johnshaven is a good base from which to explore this stretch of coast but equally there is enough in the village that you wouldn't have to stray far.
