Very good

Very welcoming house and host. Lots of little touches made us feel welcome. Loved the view and feeding the birds - we could watch them for hours. The pool is large enough to do a few lengths. We did not find much to do in the immediate area but a short drive away we found amazing beaches. I would recommend investing in a picnic basket, cooler box and sunshade and heading off to an isolated beach.
