A very clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment. The view was just as advertised in the information. The town, beach and restaurants were a short walk from the apartment, but down a steep hill. The location was perfect for visiting the local sites of interest. A truly enjoyable stay at Penlu.

Lovely apartment. Amazing views. Has everything you need for a holiday. We did struggle with the parking space, we have a small car and were unable to turn it around in the carpark when all the spaces were full, so we had to either drive in and reverse out down the drive onto the road or reverse up the drive which was quite challenging!

Steepness of road should be emphasised for location of flat. Car parking was very tight and caused some concern for us and other apartments. Apartment was small.

Smashing property with good access to town centre and fabulous views. Well equipped and comfortable, this little flat is brilliant for an active couple. Worth mentioning that the hill up from town is pretty steep though! Parking has been mentioned in other comments, we found it plenty wide enough but not very long, it was fine for our Mini. ThankRead mores very much, we will be back! Hide
