A wonderful location and second to none views! The house was comfortable, well equipped and spacious. The sauna and hot tub were simply divine and we felt very lucky to have such facilities!

A lovely family home. Well equipped. Lovely collection of toys and games. Well set up electronically. Good wi-fi and for those that like it Alexa has been added this year. My grandchildren loved that. Several beaches close by, but steep hill might put some people off. Good walking in the area too. Sea perfect for surfing and body boarding as well as swimming. Good sand for cricket and sandcastles etc. we have used this property for a number of years and have already booked for 2025.
