"ALL PERFECT"

"This large property is home away from home, with a well stocked kitchen, a very full linen cupboard and bathrooms with all the lotions and potions you may need. Added to this a fully fenced section for the dog and log fire and this place was perfect. Highly recommended, for the location (a very short walk to the beach) and a wonderful host who was very responsive."

"Dorothy’s villa is a lovely property. Plenty of room for us (3 adults and one dog) and well furnished. Dorothy is very easy to communicate with and lovely in person. We will be back!"
