Lovely beachside chalet could hear the sea which was great. Sun trap in the evening. Had everything we needed for one night, nice shower and good WiFi. Brilliant sunset from the beach and glow worms were good too!

The apartment was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Owen was very friendly and helpful. Really loved the fact that there was fruit, yoghurt, juice and bread for breakfast.

Nice area, we probably should have had another night to see more of the surrounding area. It looked like a number of interesting things were close by, but out of town.
