We would appreciate being told before your departure if there are any breakages, failure to do so may result in us recovering costs from your damage deposit.

Beautiful and relaxing stay
Beautiful and relaxing stay. Amazing sunsets every night, comfy beds, very peaceful sheltered garden, we loved the beach and exploring the caves.
The log burner was ideal for a cozy night in and loads of great places to eat nearby.
Thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing break and hopefully we will return again. -
All just perfect!
What an incredible few days with the most beautiful friends in an incredibly beautiful place. At every corner, nook and crannie there is something so intriguing and interesting to look at. I felt absolutely blissed out every moment.
The sea air, evening hikes, outdoor bath and cosy fires ….. all just perfect.
Thank you for a truly magical stay. -

Loved it
Sandcrest Cottage is a magical place. Beautiful views, convenience but with total privacy. We loved it. Be aware that one sleeping area is in a loft that's only accessible via a ladder. This was great and fun for us, as we have older kids, but would be difficult for families with smaller children.
-
Just Fantastic
Superb Beach House. Beautifully curated art works and gorgeous location. Loved the Olivers Travels goodie box delivered prior to arrival, a lovely surprise!
