Perfect location

Easy walk to lovely bay and beach. Charming gallery with art by local artists and post office just next door. Very quiet and the perfect amount of solitude. Kitchen well equipped. Washing machine and line dry worked very well for our purposes. Overall a charming bit of village life.
