All new rebuild of a long standing local bach has been fitted out with relaxation, calm and family fun in mind.

A MARINA BERTH is available during your stay on request. Just let us know you are bringing a boat and it's size.

Highly recommend

We had a wonderful time and the property was perfect for our group. Having the games room was a bonus for evenings and when the weather was wet. Lou was wonderful and always happy to help with any questions. Would love to come back again

Fabulous for the whole family

We all said wow when we walked in. It was beautifully clean and fresh. The layout of the house worked very well for our family. And the marina is just walking distance so we could bring the boat back to the house rather than paying to park
