Very comfortable, clean, well equipped, very spacious. It is at the top of the hill as the name suggests but this gives you the superb views. Taxies are a plenty and reasonably priced at around £6 to the harbour. Would recommend.

The garden could do with a bit of attention, the fence is in need of repair or replacing. The bungalow has a lovely view, and has all facilities available. We really enjoyed our 2 weeks at Summit.

Lovely hosts and beautiful location high on the hill. Thoughtful welcome pack left for us and we had a great week. We had 2 kids with asthma with us and the back 2 bedrooms smell strongly of damp so we had to put them in the front room. We also had to run to Tesco for pillows as the feather pillows were triggering their asthma. Otherwise, a great week in a beautiful town.
