JIM , united kingdom
It was perfect. The view is amazing. Waking up and looking out onto the sea was so soothing and calming. It’s right on the harbour and very central. We walked a lot on the beach, which is directly in front of the house. Its a bonus that the house is dog friendly and that the beach in front of the house is open to dogs as well. Truly it was so lovely. We were all very happy staying there. To be honest I wished I could have stayed longer. The house is very comfortable, clean well equipped. I also found the communications with the owner to be brilliant. He was very very helpful. Thank you for making our break perfect.
