We were very well received in a pretty little house, in an incredible setting.We shared a good time with our host.The rooms are small and pretty, with kettle, tea, coffee, chocolate and small cakes availableSmall downside: lack of storage in one of the bedrooms and in the bathroom.A big thank you again to our host for his welcome and his kindness.

Disappointing for £80. It is a small private bedroom. Cleanliness has room to improve.

Be careful : you will have ONLY a bed to sleep, in a chamber, with no place to put you luggage, no place to use your PC, no chair and no table. You have to use the single bathroom of the house (shared with 2 other tourists, and the owner of the house (with also no place to put your private toilet set).So, at this price, it's not a good choice !

very poor value for money: it's a bed in a room completely cluttered with the owner's belongings. No table, no chair, nothing to put your things on. No eating or breakfast in the room (no café within 15 minutes of the venue).Cramped and cluttered sanitary facilities, including WC, to be shared by 5, including the owneretc., etc.

Very nice place close to the sea and offering a beautiful view. The hostess warns well in advance that there is nothing around, so it is preferable to bring something to eat on site. She was welcoming.The room must surely be his because all the cupboards were full of things... The bathroom is pretty clean. Hard to say in all matters.Practical accommodation and beautiful view...

Great place to stay! Host is lovely and makes sure you have everything you need! Place was very clean, bed was super comfy and shower nice and hot - what more could you want!After a week of sleeping in the car / in a tent this was the perfect place to stay for a relaxing good night sleep on our nc500 journey!In terms of food I would recommend booking somewhere for food in advance as most places were full so we opted for a bbq (which the host let us have in her garden which was also very kind!)

I booked for my family only to find in the very small print afterwards that children are not allowed. Refused refund within 30 minutes of booking. Lost £100 and have to cancel family trip as I have no other budget. My daughter is devastated

Be careful to read the very small print! Booked through booking.com, apparently children are not allowed. This was easily missed when I was booking. Refused refund
