Property was everything we required for a family (7 adults & 3 children) weekend. Children were safely contained but able to enjoy the outdoor areas. Spotlessly clean and very welcoming. Walked and biked everywhere as the property is so well situated. Couldn't have asked for any better.

Much needed chemo break
Prefect for our family group. Loved the coffee machine! Nice kitchen and has two big rooms upstairs. The toilet and bathroom facilities are in one room which proved challenging on occasion with 6 so could be tight with 11.Easy access to beach.

Loved the home
Was cosy and warm on a wintry weekend. Kids loved playing outside in a great fenced area, while the parents were able to relax on the deck as they played. Shops within walking distance. Beach within walking distance. We definitely would stay again.
