Beautifully decorated property with stunning views. Beach is clean and child friendly, with coast guards. Dog friendly at certain times in the day. There are steps leading down to the property so might not be great for those with disabilities. There is a lift further down but a little way to get to apartment on gravel path. Very quiet even though the train station is just behind the apartment. To wake up in the morning to hear the sea and see the beautiful beach is blissful! Thank you Mermaids purse see you again next year!!...

Fabulous week for my 70th Birthday with my daughter! Views and constant sound of the waves wonderful! The little train was a treat. Weather was mostly sunny despite the forecasts. The Bay seems to have its own micro climate. We enjoyed seals, Tame robins, seabirds diving for their supper. And we both went for a swim! ...

I doubt you’ll find an apartment with a better view. Waking up to the gentle sounds of waves lapping against the shore is just very special.
