We'll definitely be back ##### Janet Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely winter break We enjoyed two nights here, the weather played its part and it was simply stunning! Very relaxing, close to shops and pub. Couldn’t get any closer to the beach - superb location! The Bach is as listed and not 5 star but the view makes up for that! Very comfortable and warm. Unfortunately no milk or sugar was supplied so we couldn’t have a cuppa tea on our first night - we arrived very late. But we sorted that in the morning. No flannels, no other little extras like little body wash ect so make sure you bring everything with you. Other than that - superb! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abby P. 9 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot Perfect location, and stunning outlook. ##### Abby P.
