Very spacious & everything provided for a comfortable stay. Beautiful views across the golf course & sand dunes to the sea. Stunning sunsets if youâre lucky! I do think the cleaning could be stepped up a bitâ¦.the sofa was filthy under the cushions. Lots of dirt under & behind the bed. These minor things wouldnât put me off staying again. The owner very kindly let me stay an extra night. Very grateful for that because the following day was the only nice sunny day we got! Thanks very much for letting us stay.

The property was very comfortable, with great facilities. The location was excellent, with lovely views of the sea and castle. The beach was only a 15-20 walk away,. The host was also great, offering that we could stay longer on our final day. I would highly recommend.
