We had a great stay at River Quays and would highly recommend it! The house was perfect and such a great town, right by the beach, dog friendly, clean and the owner was so helpful and left lollies for the kids and milk for our arrival and a much needed cup of tea! The beds were so comfy and the kitchen so well equipped. We really loved was the little touches like eco loo roll and low tox environment - happy time was had by all.

Comfy stay for 3 adults, a baby and a dog, thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Well furnished and had coat hooks and cupboard space. The Arga was a faff but there was an air fryer. Quiet neighbourhood, just a short walk from the town and from the dog friendly part of the beach, and surrounding countryside was lovely.
