The property was small inside but was fine for four adults with a small dog. It was clean and had a great selection of appliances, (washing machine, dryer and additional refrigerator outside in the larger shed).The weather was rubbish during our stay, but at least the accommodation made up for it. ...

Great place to stay, we had 3 generations staying and the accommodation was perfect. Close to the beach & cafe and a short drive to town. I enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony looking out to the beach, truly relaxing. We would definitely stay again

Loved the property layout, mud room at entry, living area with spectacular views extra large bedrooms each with own sunroom. Absolutely topped it off having fire & access to wood - To be honest one of the reasons booked the property. Thank you so much for everything. Jo
