We stayed at the Red Buoy for three days in June 2019.
The accommodation itself is located round the back of the house and up some steep uneven steps: it was rainy when we arrived and we found the slate steps up to the annexe, as well as the decking to the front door, to be somewhat slippery.
From the inside, the accommodation offers no scenic views, which we would have preferred, although the decked terrace out front offers a view of the garden and opposing hillside.
The living room is pleasant and the furniture comfortable. There is also a table and chairs.
The kitchen is small but adequately equipped, the full-size fridge/freezer was particularly useful. However the taps in the kitchen are fixed quite low to the small sink making both the sink and taps somewhat awkward to use. Also we found the kitchen heats up like a greenhouse on sunny days due to its having a polycarbonate sheet roof.
We found the bed to be comfortable with good storage and hanging space in the bedroom.
The bathroom was good: the shower had a strong spray, there was hand soap and toilet paper provided, as well as bath towels, but no hand towels.
There was wi-fi, though it was a weak signal and dropped out intermittently. There is no mobile phone signal whatsoever.
There was a file, in the living room, with useful information in it, that was very helpful.
There is a long narrow driveway up to the accommodation that is best to reverse up, or, if the proprietor's car is not there, you can execute a five point turn, as reversing back out onto the road is potentially hazardous.
The best feature of the accommodation, by far, is its close proximity to the beach: which is accessed through the garden gate. There are ten or more steep and uneven slate steps as you go through the garden. Had we known about this we may have considered not booking as one of us has mild issues with balance.
Overall we found the accommodation to be quiet, clean and adequate, and we enjoyed our stay; however we are unlikely to be staying at this accommodation again.
