Amazing location and property. Everything that we needed was there and spotlessly clean. A remote location without background traffic sound, just the sea and bird calls. The dogs loved it especially as off lead walking was available from the door around the bay. Once on the coastal path a lead is required as cattle and sheep roam freely. Beautiful Read moresunrises if up early enough and the hot tub with a view was fabulous. This is definitely a property we will visit again and again. Hide
