The sitting room looks out towards the marina and the sea beyond. A sofa and chairs surround an electric fire, TV, DVD and CD player.

Plenty of room, considering it was three adults. The updated shower was a lovely find. Beautiful garden, and the view from the windows and the bedroom balcony was stunning. Close enough to walk to the town centre, especially if you use the back gate

Great to hear the history of the house from Mr Evans, the houseowner (he could write a book about his life!) I especially loved my morning chats with the sheep in the field next door

David was very welcoming and very knowledgable about the property & surrounding area. We especially enjoyed the beautiful gardens & sitting on the balcony late afternoon.
