We had a lovely, relaxing time. Lil is a superb host who made us feel immediately at home. The accommodation unit has everything you need and is very comfortable. Incredible sunsets from the living room, great locations close by to visit and even a herd of friendly cows as close neighbours. It had it all. We had a great time. Thank you so much, Lil.

Perfect for me
It had everything I needed and was just perfect for me. Lil was so lovely too.she lives above the apartment but she was very quiet and I hardly saw her. I went for lovely walks, visited the tavern. Walks on the beach, played cards, attempted to complete the puzzle and read magazines.

Absolutely everything we needed and more-it was great to catch up on our clothes washing and drying without having to move outside and the shower was amazing. Comfortable, very clean and Lil was a wonderful host with excellent communication.
We highly recommend The Shores as a place to stay and enjoy.
