Summary: Lovely property with really nice views across the harbour (when it wasn't too cloudy!). We appreciated the welcome gift and overall presentation of the accommodation, plus the wood burner was great. The only thing that confused us was the lack of a freezer, which we didn't realise would be the case. We very much enjoyed our relaxing stay though and my mum in particular loved the abundance of birdlife since she is an avid birdwatcher. Thanks Julie & Andrew, Nick & Elsie!
