Inside the apartment we found a lovely welcome gift of scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream and a bottle of chilled Proseco. The apartment is spotlessly clean and very comfortable, Parking is at a premium in the village and you will soon appreciate the parking space provided with the apartment. The hosts have thought of everything that you are likely to need in the apartment during your stay. There is a gift shop and an excellent coffee shop in the village square. The Ship Inn is an excellent pub and the meals that we had were very good. Lovely beer garden opposite the pub. The beach is only a short walk from the village.
