Our holiday was everything we needed, thank you. The area we know well, so if the cottage is available we would always choose it!

We would rate this property very good and location excellent. The footprint of the property is excellent with plenty of room, loved the sun lounge/porch and kitchen/utility room area, perfect functional place to relax, gather and appreciate the sea & mountain views. The kitchen is very well stocked and white goods all new. Plenty of space outside for parking and in good weather the picnic bench to the front of the property perfect for al fresco eating and socialising. Interesting remains of historical stone cottages from previous times all around. Four shower/bathrooms appreciated, downstairs shower excellent and powerful, perhaps upstairs electric shower less so. Some of the furnishings in the sun lounge and bedrooms/bathrooms could benefit from some refresh and updating, beds very comfortable. On a personal note I would recommend curtains or blind in the living room to make it a perfect, cosy retreat at night with the coal fire. Also no TV signal, and although we don't go on holiday to watch TV it would be a touch of normality to have this facility. Overall a very comfortable stay in an amazing location, the sea views are amazing, highly recommended. Amazing beaches, at least four excellent beaches all within a couple of miles of the property.
