This is a lovely welcoming property, very clean and comfortable, and Julie, the owner, was only a phone call away, should there be any problems or questions. Ideal base to visit attractions, in the area, and most places, we wanted to go, where within an hour's journey. Very happy to recommend, to anyone, looking for a peaceful sea view, and being so dark allows fantastic views, of the night sky, when not cloudy.
