Liked: What more do you want for £17.50 a night. We were 30ft from the beach and the view Was to die for. The owner was very friendly and directed us to the local shops which had everything we needed. You do need to be self contained as there is no toilet or shower.
Disliked: There was absolutely nothing to dislike.
