Beautiful view and the location sold it to us. Just ideal for a couple and close to all the tourist places as well as all amenities. Even on a rainy day, there was things to do and places to go near by. The RNLI was just below the accommodation and we were lucky to see lots of activity going on. Loved our time there.
