I highly recommend this place — truly a home away from home. The apartment is beautifully designed and exceptionally clean, with thoughtful attention to every detail. The bedding and pillows offer a luxurious, hotel-like feel, and the kitchen is well-equipped with high-quality utensils and appliances. We especially appreciated the lovely welcome pack, which included tea, coffee, sugar, jam — and even toys for th…

We loved the Boathouse and will definitely be returning! Beautiful location, the sea on the doorstep and lovely accommodation.

My husband and son enjoyed sea swimming on several occasions then the 2 minute walk back to the accommodation was perfect! We enjoyed wine on the patio area and the view from th…

One of the most beautiful places we ever stayed in. Right from entering the appartment we felt at home – the nook in which the bed is is so cosy, the open kitchen makes it feel so homely. The views over the harbour are unbelievable, because you are so high up you feel like you are on top of the world. The interior is so cute and we especially loved the big table to work from. When they say private it really is priva…

A fantastic stay. Beautiful views. Immaculate inside, and the Christmas Tree on arrival really made it special. Use of facilities such as the pool, kept the children busy. It was easy to find with lots to do around the area within driving distance. Would definitely return as ideal base to explore the area. Thank you.
