We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well placed to walk into the port and a good base for visiting nearby areas. It was well equipped and clean. The only thing I would question is the distance to the beach. The only nearby access to the sea was at the port and not really a beach. However, we would definitely book again.Michael
