How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
It was so peaceful and relaxing, waking up to a rooster and birdsong; we had everything we needed, the place was very comfortable and clean, and the hosts were friendly and made us feel welcome.

This charming property is ideal for rail enthusiasts or anyone wanting a special stay; the outdoor bath was a real treat, and a walk to the beach was well worth it; we loved our time here and would recommend it!

The location between mountains and sea is beautiful, and the accommodation is gorgeous and uniquely renovated; the bath is fantastic and the place is very peaceful. The train rattled me awake at 1 am both nights; breakfast was mentioned several times in the description but was actually non‑catered—no problem, but the owner should correct the listing as it is misleading.

The place is unique and very well refurbished, and the starlit bath was a great bonus; there is nothing to dislike.

The spot was adorable, with the ocean literally in your backyard, and I loved the outdoor tub that came with bubble bath soap and a view of the mountains. The owner paid close attention to every detail and we had everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I can’t recommend this place enough! We loved everything about this place as it was very unique.
