“amazing”

it was a quiet place and everyone was respectful. cleanliness is faultless. although breakfast isn't provided we did have the facilities to store our own should we have wanted to have it in the room which we didn't.

“Lovely three night stay”

Everything we could have needed in a nicely presented, clean and spacious room. We didn't actually meet the owners, but didn't need to. Good communication beforehand and we knew how to get in touch with them if we needed to. WiFi was good and the mini fridge with real milk inside was a great touch. Location was just a ten minute walk from the centre and within a minute or two you had great views of the sea and cliffs. No breakfast option, but loads of good options in the centre at affordable prices.
