10/10 Excellent
"The property was lovely, right by the harbour and immaculate inside. The living space is cosy (it is best to only cook simple meals due to kitchen size) and the bedrooms large. The bathroom was excellent and beds were super comfy. We found 4 nights in the area was good for us and our dog.We loved the tidal pool just a short walk along the coast. Also we enjoyed the cafe over the road and the food at the smokehouse in town. The locals were friendly and parking was easy."
