The setting, a quirky upside down house. Beds were so comfortable, everything about the property is tasteful and stylish. Kitchen well stocked, nothing we wanted for. 100% recommend this property and congratulations to the owners, everything so well thought out.

The kitchen is very well equipped. Beds are very comfy and the en shower suites in both rooms are to a high standard. The view is lovely from the balcony with fields and the sea in distance. A nice seating area in an enclosed garden was great. Very quiet area and Not far from main rd where there is a bus service and about a 10/15 min walk to sea front with plenty of eateries and pubs. A fantastic place to stay and will be recommending to friends and family.
