My husband, our dog, and I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful space and the surrounding area. As others have said, the space is exactly as advertised, if not better. The flat is immaculate, and the hosts were impressive in terms of responsiveness both in preparation for our arrival, upon our arrival, and in their availability to answer any questions during our stay. The hosts shared their combined knowledge and love of the area and local venues, which - as this was our first venture to this part of the UK - facilitated our enjoyment of some of the best the area has to offer, while also taking time to just relax in the sun on the terrace or on the beach directly in front of the property. I also have to give a shout-out to how 'dog friendly' this space is. The hosts welcome dogs wholeheartedly and enthusiastically. As an example, when we arrived, we found a dog bed and bowls for food and water for our four legged, in addition to some special treats just for her. Also, and as many dog owners will appreciate, the beach in front of the house is dog-friendly and it seemed that more people than not had their own pooch with them as they strolled or ran along the Coast Path that is situated between the property and the beachfront. We spent two weeks here and this place was exactly what we needed. Thank you!!

We are on our way home from an absolutely stunning few days in this home. The photos are gorgeous but it’s even better when you get there, we explored quiet a lot and all agreed that the beach outside the house is by far the best, waking up to the view every morning is wonderful snd then so peaceful falling asleep to the waves. The host is brilliant; you can feel the love she’s has put into the home and has such great knowledge of the area. We felt very welcome!
