The location is highly praised for being peaceful, close to the sea, and within walking distance to local amenities and dolphin watching points. The proximity to the beach and the scenic views contribute to the high rating.
Comfort is frequently mentioned, with guests finding the beds very comfortable and the living space cosy. However, some guests noted the lack of a handrail on the stairs and limited headroom in the shower for taller individuals.
The property is well-equipped, but some guests noted missing items such as oven gloves and hand towels, and a lack of power in the shower. There were also comments about the difficulty in operating the TV and the need for better instructions.
Guests mentioned a welcome pack, which, while appreciated, was described as minimal by one guest. It is important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed. The property's decoration and attention to detail were also appreciated.
