For outdoor enthusiasts, the apartment serves as an excellent base for exploring the stunning surroundings.

With shops located just 100 yards away, everything needed for a convenient and enjoyable stay is within easy reach. It is important to note that the property requires a security deposit of £100, and while it offers a shared garden and patio space, there are steep unfenced slopes and steps in the garden that guests should be mindful of.
