Great location

Maybe the last people to use the house didn’t clean it properly. All the dishes, pans and cutlery needed washing before they could be used. The bedding was stained. Beautiful location but let down by cleanliness.

Lovely little Beachfront stay

We had the most relaxing time staying at this bach. The highlight was definitely the window seats looking out to the ocean and lighthouse. We were pleasantly surprised when the lighthouse lit up! The bach was tidy & cozy, exactly what you would expect from a little bach. We wished we had stayed an extra night though!!

Great view after some hard mahi

The view from the bach was wonderful- but we had to wash all the windows facing the sea before we could see anything but a fuzzy outline through them. I know windows on the coast get grubby but, when a major selling point of the bach is the view, I’d expect the owner or manager to ensure the windows are clean for each new guest. Glassware & cutlery need improvement. Otherwise all was great & we enjoyed the stay.

Cosy haven

The house provided a lovely, cosy haven on a couple of windy, winters days. The view is stunning - I could spend hours just watching the sea and sky! I really appreciated the 12pm check out time too.

Brilliant spot- great views. Comfortable seating around the big open window. Just couldn't find a heater- saw and used the two on the walls but couldn't find any other,was a bit cool for this time of the year. Great shower, oven. Lovely patio area.
