Exceptional 5/5

This was a special trip for me and the host could not have been more welcoming. The apartment is lovely - large, light, very well kept and cleaned. The view is superb and what you see in the photos is only part of it. Perfect, restful and crucially very safe place to stay with lovely walks and loads to do in the area. Great info provided and everything you need. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks for a truly memorable trip. A special place run by lovely people.

Enjoyed my stay at Lookout Post 4.8/5

Had a fantastic few days at this beautiful accommodation. The amazing weather helped, which meant that we could enjoy having breakfast on the balcony in the morning and drinks as the sun was setting. The accommodation was spotless and beds and furnishings very comfortable. Joanna was a very helpful hostess. Highly recommend.

A lovely New Years getaway 4.7/5

A beautiful flat in a wonderful location. Amazing sea views and a well kitted out place to call home for a few days. The shower upstairs could do with upgrading as its temperature is very tricky, and the bath wasnt very hot but the flat was hugely comfortable and we will hopefully return one day. A lot of space for two people but would be perfect for a larger group. Great selection of board games and music and just a lovely break away - thank you!

One of the best properties I have stayed in 5/5

Everything about my stay was over and above what I expected. The apartment was comfortable with breath taking views of the sea and the host was welcoming and friendly - we even received Christmas presents! An exceptional, top quality stay. We didnt want to leave!
