Beautifully equipped and dressed. We have stayed nearby many times so knew it was a good location. Loved the deck. Our only downside was that for us there were too many cushions, books and ornaments as the bedrooms weren't over large and we could have done with more clear shelves and tops for our stuff (7 people have a lot of 'stuff'!) Also a lock on the bathroom door and a shoe rack would have earnt 5 stars. We also didn't realise the four foot bed had to be climbed onto. Couldn't fault how lovely it looked and the huge amounts of crockery etc. Would recommend particularly for all adults. (We were 4 adults, 2 children and a baby).

Great place perfect location to walk along coast or into the town, it was really clean and had everything you could need, just one point to note that when they say dog friendly it is more they allow the dog to stay in the house, the dog is not allowed up stairs or on any furniture etc, this was not a problem for us, but if you have a dog that needs to be near you as our last dog was, this is not the place for you. I do understand why the owners have rules, but I think it needs to be clearer up front as this could cause an issue for people who do allow dogs on sofas etc it is difficult for them to understand why they all of a sudden can't.
