Great property beautifully renovated and lovely woodwork. It is very well equipped with everything you need. Did not want for anything. Location wise a little bit too rural for us but near the coast path although you have to walk about 800m up the road to access it as the path nearby is too boggy to walk on. Some wonderful walks to Portheras beach . A drive to some gorgeous beaches.
