Only thing missing was shower non slip mat in the large shower. My young grandson slipped and badly bruised himself but he was fine after a while. Great views. Very tiring walk back from the beach up the very long steep hill. Car park at the bottom near the beach but £20. Per day.

Great location and views. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only let down of this booking was the property management company who didnât provide the keys to access to the property. This meant lots of chasing, frustration and melting shopping!
