A beautiful and cosy house in a stunning location

We have absolutely loved our stay. Had dinner while watching the sun set over the sea, walked down to the beach and dived right off the shore, short drive to Russel, a beautiful little town woth lots of great restaurants and cafes. House is very neat clean and tidy. Super cosy. Love being able to sit and look at the sea. For my wlderly parents the loving room was a little cold in due to the lack of a heater and us visiting early spring. But each bedroom had a heater so we were plenty cosy during the nights. The owners were a joy to interact with, quick to reply and very kind. We can warmly recommend!
