We thought this was a good place that suited our needs. It was good with the fire which made it nice and cosy. It was tidy when we arrived. Great for being a dog owner as the walks were close and the back yard was great for her to run around.

Relaxing bach

Good size house for our group of 3 adult women. Would probably not stay in winter again. Although the house was warm once the fire had been going for a bit, it was very cold in the morning and as we weren’t staying in all day, we only started the fire in the evening when we returned to the house. In summer though, the house would be great. Location was fabulous. Backs onto the forest and short walk to the beach.

The house suited us perfectly. It was also ideal for our 2 little dogs who loved getting out into the woods with us. We would (hopefully will) be back at some point in the future.

Perfect spot for people with a pooch

The bach was as described and had everything we needed for our stay. Being allowed to bring our pet, a fully fenced section and quick access to walking tracks under the pines made it a very good dog friendly destination.

Great holiday for kids

Lovely spot for a wee family holiday. Easy bike ride to the playground and bike park which our 3 year old loved. Lots of space inside and everything we needed. Quite warm when it reached 28 degrees but we used the fans.

Right by a peaceful forest & 5 mins walk from the beach. Fruit trees in the fenced garden. We stayed in winter/spring and had a roaring fire and a very relaxing stay. Lovely place to get away for a few days and recharge.
