A fantastic apartment with the most amazing views. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well cared for. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The brand-new fridge and fresh towels were a lovely touch and made us feel right at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. We would happily stay here again.

I will start with owner who was 10* lovely helpful gentlemen. Fantastic views, we fitted our vw beetle on front perfectly if anyone wants to know size. I believe a few things need sorting, towels and t towel need replacing as towel seen better days and tea towel had been washed but very stained. Too much in wardrobes, ie xmas things,hoover etc, maybe placed all together in 1 cupboard. We tried to fix blind in main bedroom but needs new fixings on corner. .Lots little things but overall we loved our week. Left car outside all week, did lots walking and train 1 day. Meet neighbour who was lovely. Coastline walks are a must,also woodland walk. Pop over to the island which was great too. If looking for special meal we recommend Sail Loft, amazing time.

Great location, lovely apartment. Only one issue the fridge was not good. No door shelf and fridge shelves all sloped down. Apart for this small issue great base to explore
