It is very comfortable and clean and was perfect for us. The views of the sea and the parking are bonuses and it is only a short walk to town and the beach

Just a short walk to pubs, shops, harbour and fabulous Smokehouse. Liked having kitchen and living area at first floor level - roomy, airy open plan space. Only downside is narrow entrance to courtyard which is awkward for large vehicles but we would love to return one day.
