Beautiful location about 6 min drive from the town centre and opposite the beach with great views. Really well and thoughtfully laid out in terms of amenities (shared kitchen, sitting area, bathrooms). Would recommend for those seeking a quieter spot to recuperate.

A gem. Close to the beach for walks, so quiet and pristine. Sharing a bathroom is no problem, it is spotless as is the kitchen. Highly recommended.

We had some issues finding The Old Bones due to road closure and satnav not knowing about it. It would pay to check for directions. Once there though we found Karen and Grant very friendly and helpful. Our room was fine, nice and clean, there's a communal area for cooking, eating or relaxing on a couch too. Bathrooms are shared with the other guests but very clean and well maintained. It's a short walk to the beach too.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although this was relatively cheap the room smelt musty. The bed & sheets were clean but the carpet didn’t look recently hoovered and the towels did not smell freshly laundered. The kitchen area was very handy but again it was not terribly clean. Close to the beach and amenities and the lady was very friendly and kind.

Belle maison au bord de l'océan, une pièce principale très agréable et confortable avec une cuisine très propre. Chambre un peu petite mais suffisante. Vraiment un bel endroit.
