The bungalow is in a beautiful area, next to a field with cows and calves and geese in. The kitchen is really well equipped. There is an Aga but if you don't want to use that there is a normal cooker in the utility, which was a bit faffy but okay for a few days. The rooms are spacious and comfortable but the bungalow is looking a bit tired in places and could do with some updating. For us with a dog it was a relaxing place to stay. And the countryside and beaches are lovely.

A very spacious bungalow beautifully warm and cosy and very clean. We hired 2 properties on the site and Stackgarth was big enough for us all to get together in the evenings. The decor is very retro but that has a certain charm! The leisure facilities on site are excellent and really helped to make our holiday.
