Really liked the âupside downâ living space. It was a beautiful room. House was spotless, beds comfy and it was really comfortable.

Great location to beach/harbour/town centre & great pubs on corner. Everyone was very welcoming. Indian brasserie was incredible in the wee town . Parking wasn't really a issue as wheelie bins secured space outside. .. Would highly recommend it and we would stay again.

It was close to all amenities and we had a wonderful stay and would definately stay again. There were a couple of things that as an owner I would like to know to keep on top of keeping high standards and may want to bring up with the cleaning company. Alot of the ledges and sides were quite dusty .The shower room in upstairs bedroom will need attention to combat the mould that has begun to start to grow and downstairs taps in bathroom need attention . The key safe was really tricky to get the key back in as there either needs a smaller keyring or a hook to hang the key it took lots of attempts to get it back in .None of these things impacted our stay we had an amazing time and the property was topnotch
