Great stay, loved how close the property was to the beach. Parking was really easy being right next to it. The unit was comfortable and tidy. Could do with a few more pots, and the blinds cleaning in the main bedroom as there is mould on the inside. Overall great stay, would come back again

Rosemary was very welcoming and extremely helpful in providing the information I needed about Cable Bay. The unit had a stunning view, beautiful decor, modern appliances (including laundry), comfortable bed, and it was spotlessly clean. The stuff that brochures are made of!

What a lovely place. Right on the most gorgeous beach. Unfortunately we were there in a storm but were cosy, cosy, cosy inside the beautifully appointed and decorated unit. Was such a gorgeous property - would have loved to have stayed longer. Very handy having kitchen facilities. So stylishly decorated.
