10/10 Excellent
"It was a very comfortable stay, with 2 adults and a dog. The kitchen is very well equipped, it's an easy walk to the pub and beaches. In summer the deck will be amazing but since it was rainy and cold we tended to stay inside, which was very enjoyable due to the great furnishings and views out over the ocean."
