The downstairs main living area is, however, smaller than we expected but well equipped. The bathroom is well fitted out with a good quality shower. In terms of location, it is outstanding. The pub a few doors away is a gastronomic delight and worth the trip alone. Add the proximity of the coast road and Roy's ices and it's a winner. Dan is also an exceptional host.

It is quite Ingeniously equipped with everything we needed for two of us and our dog. The bedroom is surprisingly spacious. The host Daniel was friendly and welcoming and the location - close to good walks - was just what we needed.
