Local shops and amenities not far and beach is about 10 minutes away. This is home away from home and the surroundings are tranquil. Will definitely return

The owners had left us a couple of essentials upon arrival, which was a lovely touch. The only slightly negative opinion, would be that the cleanliness of the property could improve slightly. I found a cobweb in the bathroom and the windowsills and a few of the wooded surfaces in the dining room were very gritty/dusty. Other than that, a perfect stay and would definitely return to stay again.
