The property was very cosy & felt welcoming. Clean and tidy as well. Only a few minutes walk from the harbour, obviously easier going down then walking up but we knew this when booking. Lovely view of the coloured houses on the other side of the harbour. Very handy having the parking permit for the church which was a 2-3 minute walk only.

We had a lovely time. The house is tastefully furnished. The kitchen equipments are generously available. The beds are very comfortable. The location is perfect, close to the harbour/beach & shopping street.

Gorgeous cottage, really well equipped and beautifully clean. Steep hill to climb to get back, but worth it for the views! Lovely welcome basket too.

The rubbish was only collected on Friday ( the handbook stated 3 days) not specifically an issue but if the owners are paying for 3 collections it only happened once.
