Owners were lovely and the property was very clean and very well maintained. It is very cosy for two. Only criticism is storage in the bedroom not a lot of room for clothes. Overall a very good holiday home.

Bed comfortable and lovely linen. The beach was on a slope more than 5 minutes away and not suitable for folk with mobility issues. Maybe that should be advertised so folk know in advance.

The property was easy to access and had everything we needed. The two-ring hob and microwave were sufficient for the cooking we intended to do, and we were provided with ground coffee, milk, biscuits and chocolates on arrival. The sauna was an unusual basis especially when we came back soaking wet and needed somewhere to warm up. The owners were friendly but unobtrusive. Highly recommended. Great value for money.
