The property was lovely and right next to the sea. We stayed in the annex which was easy to access and comfortable/clean. The breakfast was night and the views are incredible.

This property was great in a great location. Parking was a bit of a walk but nothing outrageous. The breakfast offered was great and it is close to the old town. A bit pricy for what it offers but I would stay again.
