You couldnât get any closer to the action of the fishermen, their boats and seabirds in this quayside apartment. This picture postcard small harbour is nestled between cottage lined hills, with SW Coast Path walks in either direction. What a gem! Our winter visit was slower paced with few tourists enabling us get to know the locals and hear their tales. We even got a private tour of the little Museum through one of these chats! In the bad weather we could sit in the lounge and enjoy the harbour views through a huge window. This is one of the most memorable stays of our UK âGapâ year (in our 50âs). Thankyou to the host for sharing this unique property is such an amazing location.

An interesting working fishing village with lots of local walks and many pubs and eateries. The apartment was reasonably comfortable, had great views and had the added bonus of a parking space which is quite unique in the village. The stairs were quite steep which could be a problem for some people. The main negative was that there was no heating or towel rail in the bathroom. Unfortunately it meant the bathroom was cold and the towels were always damp with no where to dry them.

We stayed over Christmas as our son and daughter in law live nearby. The location is great with a lovely view over the harbour. You do need to be quite fit to lug all your luggage/provisions up the steps to the front door though. The hot water was not working when we arrived but I phoned Della and the maintenance man arrived within minutes and got it up and running again so we can hardly complain about that.
