Everything. Coming from the city to stay here was perfect. So quiet and central to all the local sights. .
Superb – Kathryn from United Kingdom (9/10)
We stayed for 3 nights. The hosts made us very welcome and were informative (about places to visit etc) They were great. The apartment was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and with all the facilities and equipment you could need for a short stay. The location was ideal for us-in a quiet spot but really easy to go for a walk or pick up a main road to get around to the beach, harbour or inland. I would definitely visit again.
Exceptional – Lynne from United Kingdom (10/10)
