Extremely spacious and equipped with everything needed for a family holiday. It was very helpful to have a phone call from the host to deal with any queries and also to find out what was in the local area. We were very grateful to have the generous welcome pack of groceries. I can highly recommend this property.

Cathy (owner) was very helpful and checked regularly that we were ok and happy. Welcome pack provided with staples was very handy. House is lovely and right by the sea. Garden areas well maintained. Really interesting how much work the family have done to the property and kitchen all brand new.My only feedback would be that the photos online are slightly older than the real situation with the house.Ev charger very useful for ev drivers but this does come as an additional charge at standard rate electricity however still a lot cheaper than public charging.Thanks again Cathy for your hospitality.
