Lovely cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Impeccably located with excellent views over the bay. Who needs a telly when far more interesting things are happening just over the balcony? then its just a few minutes walk into town & all the amenities.

The apartment was excellent, stay spoilt somewhat by two issues - hence the ratings of only good and poor for comfort and value for money respectively. The first was the toilet which did not fill / flush on our first (Saturday) morning. Peter - maintenance man - attended promptly and resolved the matter after thirty minutes or so. The second issue Read morewas heating, which we reported to Peter, who showed us how to manually activate heating which was otherwise set too cold for comfort. Once we had instructions from Peter, we were able to maintain warmth in the apartment whilst we were there. However, heating of hot water for the bath was only lukewarm on both Saturday and Sunday nights - though the shower was fine throughout. I would like your consideration and a response re the above please as this did impact our holiday. And we cannot recommend the property to others or consider returning without knowing this was being addressed. Hide
