Very comfortable and tidy bach. Spacious open plan kitchen and living room. Stunning seafront views toward the lighthouse, especially at sunrise. Instructions on how to unlock/ lock the front and back doors would be helpful. They appear to be lift to lock, which we hadn't encountered before. Very close to dairy, which serves great coffee and fish and chips.
