Would recommend this property. It’s in a lovely seaside village, with a great little shop and very good pub/Restaurant - The Shore. The house itself is very comfortable and well appointed. Lovely sea views from all rooms. Really enjoyed our stay. J.Green

The dacha (an entire house) was a crowning respite from the small, ordinary places we'd been staying. Beautiful view, lovely village, washer/dryer, snacks, DVDs. Be sure to turn the couch at an angle to watch the TV. Hold the front door handle up while turning the key, you (me) undereducated Americans. Careful exiting the driveway.

Cozy cottage stay

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The village is small but has access to everything you need within a short drive. The accommodation itself is lovely, so homey and comfortable. The hosts thought of everything and we couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks so much for having us! Trip of a lifetime.
