We found this a very peaceful, relaxing place to stay. The garden, sea aspect, and bird-life made this a lovely location. We also really appreciated being able to have our little dog with us. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely apartment.

Lovely little place in super quiet location. Nicely laid out little apartment with separate bedroom and bathroom from living area. A small bedside table or shelf might be an idea to save reaching down to the floor to turn the alarm clock off on your phone. Fantastic hosts that dished us up some slices of their own cake as they felt sorry for us dining on microwave meals. Top stuff!
