The furniture and appliances was very good ##### Arthur B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda M. 4 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Stay at The Shanty Excellent stay at this property. All fully equipped with everything we needed. Home from home. Beautiful large garden with stunning views and built in bbq. Would sit here every morning and evening and listen to the sea which was a short walk away. Very friendly and peaceful area to stay. Was in contact with the owner twice. He responded immediately on both times and the second time was to see if I could extend my stay that is how much we enjoyed our time here. Already looking at booking next year. ##### Linda M.
