    The most friendliest hosts I have ever come across - always willing to go the extra mile and ready when you need them for anything. I have a slight fear of dogs as well, however they made sure I was comfortable whilst being there at all...

    The owners were super friendly. Great location with a sea view. The unit was well kitted out for a short stay. The room was private with its own entrance so I could leave as early and return as late as I wanted without disturbing...

    Absolutely EVERYTHING. I was greeted by super friendly and genuine hosts, it was definitely home from home, except that their bed was more comfortable than mine 😁😁😁😁
