Sarah
It is very well equipped and in a great position. It is quiet but also within easy reach of shops, pubs and take aways. Elaine the owner is very friendly and helpful. But she also leaves you alone to enjoy your holiday. She is easy to contact and when we had an issue with the shower she arranged to get it sorted on the same day. It is obvious that doing things right and well is important to her. We hope to return at some point in the future.
