The hosts are lovely... Sally was so friendly, helpful, allowed me to charged my electric car, which was awesome!.... Excellent location for the village and Saturday Market... easy walking everywhere and just a short drive to the plethora of beaches and tourist activities. The outdoor bath was so great on a starry night.... And I couldn't believe how quiet the place was, considering it's on a main road.... Would I stay here again... absolutely! ##### Judith T.
