A quirky, large, ground floor flat. The location is the beauty of this place: an almost completely private beach nearby, beautiful forests and wonderful beach views each morning. The kitchen is extremely well maintained and appointed. The main bedroom is quite tired, and the bed itself not great. My kids enjoyed the single beds in the other rooms, however, and the bathroom is very decent. Heating works great, decent towels, but the place could do with a dehumidifier or two to clear the air. Altogether, for the price I paid, it was great value for an excellent weekend away.

Ivy was an excellent place to stay, very comfortable and had everything needed. The accommodation is spacious and was easy to access. Situated with a view from the bedrooms of Red Bay, its ideal for getting to so many of the beautiful bays and views. There are few local facilities, but everything we needed was available when out and about for the days. Peaceful place to enjoy.
