Really nice place, would book again. Pros: fab location, short walk to town and beaches, beautiful sea & headland views from the lounge. Key safe mean you could just walk the few mins to the beach in swimwear and leave keys & phone at home. Very clean, nice new furnishings, comfy beds & linen, amazingly powerful shower, everything worked. Outside space for drying wetsuits, towels etc, picnic table to eat outside looking across the bay. Cons: There is a parking space but it’s quite small & awkward - my estate car took some very careful manoeuvring to get in. To get out you need to reverse out & back up the hill, no room to turn. Fortunately the second space was unoccupied during our stay which helped but if 2 large cars would have been difficult. No washing machine. This wasn’t too inconvenient in good weather but might be a problem if getting wet & muddy each day, or with younger children.
