The property is close to the village centre and is clean and comfortable without being the lap of luxury. The only improvement I would recommend is a boosted wifi signal. The WiFi only worked in the kitchen, living room and sometimes in one of the three bedrooms.

It is spacious, clean and comfortable. Please note, You do need to be fairly fit, to be able to access this property. I always wish there was a balcony, as by the time I've returned to the property from the Beach or Town and then climbed 2 flights of stairs , I really don't necessarily want to go out again. But would be perfect if I could sit outside to admire the stunning view from the property. A big ask... wishful thinking! Maybe a shower screen in the bathroom would be a plus to avoid water escaping and the curtain going mouldy, having said that, the shower works wonderfully. Thank you
