A Lovely Place in a Lovely Setting
This was actually the second time we have stayed at this beautiful bach and we were so glad we did! So handy to the beach and the town centre! The bach is so comfortable and suits us down to the ground! We love the decor! Excellent communication from our hosts. Thank you for letting us stay again. If we are in the area again we would love to come and stay here!
