We had a couple of glitches which were dealt with speedily and efficiently. We had an enjoyable stay, property only a short walk away from the harbour, we would definitely recommend.
Karen
The location was excellent. The jacuzzi was a welcome bonus after long walks. Very clean and well equipped. The only slight negative was the showers were difficult to turn on and off. Our daughter is already planning a return. Can highly recommend.
