The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and shops, with guests appreciating the stunning views and easy access to local amenities. The consistent commendation across reviews justifies a high score.
Guests find the property comfortable, with en-suite rooms and a welcoming atmosphere. The presence of large bedrooms and a homely feel contributes to a high comfort level, although there were minor concerns about bed fixtures.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the kitchen. However, there are comments on the need for better pillows, loose fixtures, and some wear and tear, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.

Love all the rooms having en-suite . Location is great . Love the fire , the huge kitchen . If I had to be a bit picky I would say maybe needs a lick of paint on the walls going up the stairs . Just to freshen it up a bit , but other than that itâs a lovely house and always clean and warm .
