Superb location with on site shops, eateries and night time bars if desired. Surrounding areas are all accessible within 10 mins by car to gorgeous beaches, and little villages, canât wait to come back.

The settee and chair was a bit uncomfortable. As for the rest, the only thing I can complain about is the musty smell it even got on my clothes I donât understand where it was coming from because the place is absolutely spotless clean that a musty smell was even on my clothes when I come home donât know where itâs coming from place itself was spotlessly.

Would be good to have some guidance on recycling waste as wasn't sure what to do with only the big blue bin outside. Towels WERE provided which was a surprise as in the details I am sure it says they aren't. Lovely beaches nearby but realistically to drive to rather than walk, as with the village. All things considered a very enjoyable stay and good value.
