Check in was contactless and communication was excellent. We were made aware to bring our own supplies and kitchen equipment was adequate but personally would have liked larger mugs. Shower head and water pressure made showering unpleasant. Unit was clean and comfortable bed with great linen. Wonderful outlook your room.

A lovely sea view, clean and inviting studio. Heaters throughout ensured we were cosy on a cold night. Quite good cooking facilities - a hotplate and microwave, but no oven or BBQ facilities. Prompt communication from the host. Easy off street parking.
