Very spacious with lovely neutral decor and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners left a home baked cake and fresh flowers for our arrival which was a lovely treat. Communication and helpfulness from the owners was faultless. The location was absolutely perfect for us as the dog friendly beach was a short stroll along the promenade. We also found that many of the restaurants were also very accommodating if you have a four legged friend. A perfect base for exploring this stunning part of the country.

Very near the beach for dog walks twice a day. Mum has reduced mobility so the apartment was suitable as it is on the ground floor and one level, with an excellent walk in shower. Hosts were excellent providing a few hidden extras I have never experienced before including a freshly baked cake Thank You :)
