It's situated about 15 metres from the sea with a lovely window seat looking out to the waves. It is well equipped for two people. The kitchen has most facilities, with a washing machine but no dishwasher.There are plenty of cups, glasses, plates and cutlery. There was generally enough hot water but on the final two days the automatic water heater did not provide the usual temperature. The heating was brilliant. Too warm on occasions, and we'd been advised not to fiddle with the timers which are controlled 'remotely'. The area is beautiful with lots of lovely local walks. The village was very friendly and we got a warm welcome in the Rising Sun. October can be a stormy month. We arrived in a huge storm with sea waves coming up to the house! Very exciting. Then 6 perfect autumn days. The owner was concerned enough to telephone and kept in touch during the week. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

It was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing week. I loved sitting on the window seat at the end of the day looking out over the bay.

Could not fault anything as it was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our 3 day break. We came home yesterday and within a couple of hours booked for a longer stay next year. A little gem of a place.
