â â â â â What a gem of a place! It has absolutely everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Even though the owners live next door, the property is incredibly private. We loved it so much that we will definitely be booking a two-week stay here for next year! Highly recommended.

Wow wow wow! From the minute we pulled up to the lovely warm welcome and to leaving with a fond farewell from both John and Linda, we had an amazing stay. You can't ask for anything more from the Chalet, it's like a home from home, everything you need is there and more, even right down to beach towels for the beach. The welcome gifts are a lovely touch and very welcoming after a long journey. The cleanliness of the chalet is second to none, it was spotless. The bed was lovely and comfy. The extensive collection of books, dvds and games in the barn are a fantastic bonus. We enjoyed a game or 2 of darts in there aswell. The garden area is lovely for relaxing in at night, and the garden swing is a great bonus to relax in. We would live there permanently if we could. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could. We will definitely be going back next year. Paul & Janine.
