The lounge area with the three settees were very comfortable and the number of tables and chairs in various different rooms was great. The tables and chairs outside on the patio were a great bonus with lots of choice of seating and sun beds. All the bedrooms were very spacious and the beds very comfortable. The parking for the two cars was perfect and safe too. The views out to sea were fabulous, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and shall certainly return again.

There was also an infestation of woodlice, some dead ones already on the living room floor when we arrived. Iâm sure the space is great for older groups but for our needs as a young family (our youngest is 2 so we need floors to be clean for example) we didnât get what we needed. Looks like it just needs a bit of TLC, great location though!

In my room there was no radiator although all the other rooms had them. The rest of the flat was very nice - especially the views.It was nice to have parking for two cars.
