The property provides a comfortable and private retreat and is lacking for nothing. The only hiccup remains the driveway and lack of designated parking due to the garden.It is so difficult to unpack vehicles as doors cannot be accessed fully and with pets, luggage etc it is the one and only negative that could be easily fixed.

Lots of little surprises.

Very tasteful and well maintained. Good quality linen and kitchen utensils.Loved the interesting ornaments and the stained glass. Our grandchildren have been inspired to collect their own pebbles and we all had fun trying to stack them. Our 8 year old managed 5! A 2nd or separate toilet would have been more convenient with 6 people.otherwise very happy.

Great family space

Grandparents (us), adults, grandkids and dogs all spent the Easter break at Shell Cottage. Great for all ages and animals. Clean, welcoming and great spaces for our family. Dogs were happy roaming with the freedom to explore 360 degrees around the house. Short walk to sea views and beaches. My only gripe was the driveway. Shrubs encroaching on both sides makes it impossible to load the family into a car while still in the driveway. Pretty small complaint though. Go ahead and book. You won't be disappointed.

Short Break

The interior of this property is 5 star. Open plan, very modern, clean and with everything you need. Excellent finishing touches. The location is great, within walking distance of the beach, kiosk and Star of Greece etc.Communication with owner good. The only minor negative is the driveway is not really user friendly as its narrow and you couldn't open a car door without being attacked by the lavender bushes and therefore we parked on the street. Our stay was highly enjoyed.
