My family and I had a great stay at Alison’s place. The location is nice and quiet and very close walking distance to the beach and a little further to cafes and shops.
In regards to heating it’s not an ideal winter holiday house as there is only the wood fired heater on the second top floor which only really heats the top two floors of the house once it’s been burning for many hours. Our only other major problem was the huge number of stairs as we had a newly-walking toddler in the group, so this is something for families with young kids to be aware of.
