Lovely clean bungalow, great location.

We had a lovely stay at Ariel House. The bungalow was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Location was great, a short easy stroll down to the harbour and little beach. Also easy to drive to many different places of interest. Barbara was very easy to contact and very helpful. We had a lovely stay, thank you!

Lovely break

Arkle House gave us a fabulous break. House was very clean and exactly as described. Hosts had excellent communication and the welcome pack was fab. The scones were delicious!! Highly recommended location in a quiet street. For anyone staying, would highly recommend food from the fish shack restaurant in the harbour village.
