As a family of four, we really enjoyed our stay at 5 Bethesda Hill. Amazing location, steps from the harbour and moments to the beach. A beautifully presented cottage over three floors, super comfortable beds and a nice big corner sofa. Bonus downstairs bathroom for wetsuits and showering after the beach. Master bedroom has side view of the harbour, from a cosy window seat. We had a fantastic time here and would highly recommend x
