Im Garten hat es hübsch geblüht- eine Wohltat. Wir haben Treppen gefunden, die auf das Dach geführt haben. Von dort aus hatten wir beim Frühstück einen wunderschönen Blich auf das Meer. Alles was wir gebraucht haben war vorhanden. Der Vermieter hat uns sehr nett eingewiesen; alles war unkomliziert. Restaurant, Meer, Bäcker, Wasserfälle,....,.. waren alle zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir können die Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen!Gerne ##### Juliane F.

We\`ve stayed at this place for 4 days only but it\`s enough to fall in love with it. In spite of weather surprises we get used to wake up with birds singing and enjoy breakfast in our private garden (thanks to Carol - it looked just amazing). Cottage has everything for staying 2 persons and Neil and his wife were very friendly and helpful.
