As the apartment is a section of the ground floor of our house (albeit completely private) we're available for any questions or requirements you may have. We're happy to share our thoughts on the best places to see around the Coast or if you prefer privacy that's fine as well.

Nice little hideaway
The hosts were very respectful and helpful. The apartment was cosy, clean, and well appointed. I really appreciated the sparkling wine in the fridge. The coffee maker was brilliant and has made me want to buy one. You have an outside area all to yourself and a pool and sauna to use. Thank you, Kathy, and Dave, for a lovely getaway. Yvonne

beautifully appointed apartment
We only stayed for 12 hours or so, so we didn't make the most of the surroundings. We travelled with our dog, and there is an area where you can take your dog for short walks right across the road. The place is clean, well equipped, bed is comfy (best night's sleep according to my husband), hosts are friendly. I would definitely go back.
