Beautiful house, very well equipped and furnished. The house was spotlessly clean on arrival and there are many lovely furnishings in the house which really make it a home from home. Everything in the house you would need for a holiday and close to the town centre and beach. We would most certainly recommend this property to our friends and family.Read more Hide

Olive Tree House is a beautiful holiday home in an ideal location for the beach, High Street and local park.
