A nice weekend at the beach

We stayed for 2 nights and the location is excellent. The beach, cafes and mini supermarket are very close. The hosts had left milk, bread and eggs also with a pantry with essentials. Would definitely stay again.

Great beach home!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. The host provided bread, eggs, milk and so much more. We only wished that we could stay a little longer. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Cute cottage

Nice redecorated cottage with everything you need and more. A noisy neighbour woke us around 5.30am so not as relaxing as we’d hoped. Otherwise a lovely spot and great having a lovely eggs and toast breakfast there to use.
