Very comfortable and well equipped; loads of communal space; and very good sized en suite rooms to allow private time as well. Great views and access to superb beaches (superb even in February!) and great seafood. Very close to a good shop, pub and playground. Bernie is a very helpful and accessible owner. ##### Michael S.
