We had a fabulous family break, the accommodation was perfect for the three generations. Very spacious, homely and well equipped throughout.We messed up our checkout date, and my wife was still in bed while I was fishing when we should have been vacating! However, it was dealt with in a very friendly manner and Theresa was very understanding and helpful. In the rush to vacate one of the boys forgot a cuddly seal, which was kindly packaged up and sent on with a fabulous note, from the seal!Highly recommended and we shall return
