Only downside was no bathroom facilities on floor with main living area. Fab location close to town and the beach and the apartment was very spacious. Was exactly what we needed for a few days away as a family of 4 (4 adults and 1 child). Would stay again.

Maryâs View, what a fabulous house and amazing location. If we were being picky, the two showers were both a little underwhelming and controlling the temperature was challenging and with one actually being broken so the water flow could not be controlled. That aside, we had a really lovely week and notwithstanding the above issues, would definitely recommend to friends and return ourselves.

Although the weather was again not too good this year, the location of the property, the views from the windows, it's facilities and family accommodation was again brilliant and made up for any negatives. We look forward to our stay next year.
