The barn was perfect for what we needed regarding having three young children & a dog with us. Spacious, clean & nothing too precious to worry about. The pool is really good to have on site.

As a 3 generation family group this house was perfect as it had 3 different spaces downstairs so there could be separate things going on and a childfree zone was available. The kitchen worked really well too. The beds were fine but mattresses could have been a bit more comfortable, the bathrooms and rooms worked v well We were able to sit either side of the house depending on sun and wind! The grass infront was lovely and the road didn’t bug us. What took us by surprise was the wonderful pool we could walk down the road to…..buying eggs along the way. It was very warm, very clean and often goats or donkeys appeared at the window. Also the playground nearby And seeing the cows/cattle in the farm yard .The family spread themselves out during the day visiting places and the seaside ROARR? All successful. We were v v fortunate with the weather but even if it had been v rainy there was enough space downstairs to occupy everyone happily. The staff were very helpful when we needed to replace a cot. This location, house and arrangement was perfect for us. Not grand, some bits slightly tatty but perfect for us. We had a fabulous week over Easter and all were thrilled.
