It was a nice beach batch that had everything needed for 1 night. Enjoyed sitting in sun eating our dinner. Something had died so there was a bad smell. Probably a bird. The showers outside were good pressure, but they really needed to be cleaned, dirt and leaves in them. But a great family batch

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Bach had everything we needed, and was in a lovely quiet spot with lots of privacy. The only thing lacking was the WiFi and mobile network connectivity, but when you’re on holiday that’s not a bad thing!
