Lovely home and private garden within walking distance to beach, cafes and shops. Very comfy bed and exceptional facilities for an extended stay. Love this property
Photos don't do this place justice. The finishes in this house from the tiles to the towels, the bed linen to the coffee cups, were beautiful, thoughtful and great quality.Our group of 6 loved our weekend here and would highly recommend it. Can't actually think of any down side to our stay!
