    Very comfortable and a few meters away from the beach. Very spacious perfect for a group of friends or a family stay. You wil not make a mistake staying here.

    Self catering Beach Cottage so close to the beach. Sea view and the sound of the waves was awesome. Close to the small shopping centre. We found a guy making pancakes in his food trailer and they were oh so yummy :)
