From arrival, easy to park outside and drop off bags etc, The Island car Park was within a minutes walk. House was nice and cosy. Beaches were within a couple of minutes walk, so it was ideally located. Host was very good at communicating with us, even arranging a Christmas tree to be in the lounge.

Quaint cottage near beaches. Can see a glimpse of sea from upstairs bedroom. Love the location. Could walk everywhere. The house is clean, and styled very cute. No musty smell. There are a lot of stairs so if mobility is an issue then this might not be best choice. My mom and I felt right at home. It was a great experience!

Very good cottage in a perfect location, only slight negative would be that it spans 4 floors so was a bit of a pain going upstairs / downstairs but that’s not really a big issue

Perfect Location

I loved the position of 4 St Eia, so close to the beach for a morning swim and to the School of Painting and yet very peaceful at night. Lovely bedlinen, beautifully clean and I had everything I needed. Not five stars due to one or two niggles during my stay which just needed a bit more maintenance/attention. eg TV, taps and there is a lot of going up and down stairs!

Had a few weeks staying in this cottage in November. Great communications with the host.House clean and has everything you need. Bit of a trek getting from the ground floor kitchen up to the double room on the top floor but we knew that prior. Very common though with all these cottages in this area.Really close to the beaches and the town.We enjoyed our stay.
