Absolutely perfect location with so much including restaurants and buses in easy walking distance. The view from the apartment is exceptional - we could see the dolphins playing in the sea. Yes there are some crazy stairs up to it - but well worth it for the view. Comfy seats in the lounge, very well equipped kitchen, lovely powerful shower…….. Already looking at when we will be back :)

Absolutely beautiful and spacious apartment. Very clean and comfortable. Stunning views over the North Sea. Lovely place to stay whatever the weather. Walked every day on the pier. Great places to eat. People are so friendly. Booked already for next year. Thank you to the owners for a most wonderful venue.

The location is perfect. The views of the lighthouse pier is amazing The flat itself is perfect. The beds could use added mattress toppers. And maybe remove the rail at the end of the bed to give some needed legs room for people with long legs. Overall, we loved our stay and would come back again.
