It was easy to find, get ourselves in and settled and check-out again with no problems. The property is very homely, perfectly cleaned and maintained ready for our arrival. The beds were clean and comfortable and the enclosed outdoor space was perfect for us with children and dog to let out. The location was quiet with no disturbances, close to local amenities and a short distance (30 minute walk or 5minute drive) from the beautiful sandy beach and the quay. The neighbours are polite and friendly too! Would highly recommend and happily book this property again. Thank you! ##### Eleanor G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022
