The accommodation was exceptionally family-friendly, offering plenty of space, beautiful gardens, and a high level of privacy. Its convenient location, just a short stroll from the beach, made our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely weekender

The property was lovely and as described. The kitchen was well equipped with ample additional supplies. Location was great, very peaceful but close enough to walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. Overall, fantastic for family or friend groups and their furry friends.

The house was a great design with sleeping areas away from living areas. The pool was very well used. We found the secret track to the beach which was a big adventure for the toddlers. Best beach for young children. We had a lovely time. Well equipped kitchen. Server well used. 10stars

Peace and quiet

Fantastic spot for the 2 of us and our dog. Yard is suitable for a medium dog to enjoy free and big enough for a large dog or 2. Some spots under the fence that a small dog might escape thrpugh. Easily enough space for 3 couples or a larger family to enjoy and not be in eachothers space.
