Sue & Russ were very welcoming & very knowledgeable of the area. Including a tour of the Pele Tower. Sue had made us scones for our arrival & Barney our dog adored all the beach & sand dune walks.

Sue had thought of everything as we didnât need everything that we had taken which was great. We will certainly be returning. This was our first trip away with our dog and didnât know how it would go but happy to say he loved it just as much as we did!

The property was as advertised, the space is well used which makes it a real home from home. We had a warm welcome. The setting is private and near perfect. It's quiet aside from the roar of the ocean, and what a beautiful beach and village.
