The location was perfect and it was extremely easy to move around from this location. the room was spacious and light and the king size bed was facing the ocean, therefore a perfect view whilst still lying in bed! The location is literally on the rocks and no roads with traffic were interfering with my peace and tranquility. It is also private with nobody passing infront of my room.

“Amazing stay”
We had a wonderful stay here and couldn’t have asked for more. The sea view from the room was absolutely beautiful and made every morning feel special. The room itself was spotless, very neat, and clearly well cared for. The hosts were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always readily available whenever we needed anything, which really made us feel at home. And a special mention to the friendly dogs—they were such a lovely bonus and added so much charm to the stay. I would happily recommend this place and would love to come back again!
