Pros- Lovely location with a very short (steep) walk to the beach or cliff walk. Chalet was acceptable if a little dated. ( I think it might be too small for a family of 4.) The owners were very friendly and quick to sort a minor issue. Cons - The patio needed weeding and the enclosed fence is only ok for larger dogs. Little ones would be able to get through.Double duvet cover had strong washing powder smell that set me off wheezing. The patio is not private as the public walk past to the beach.Would I go again? No. As a single female I felt vulnerable at night even with the dog.
