We had a lovely stay here and would definitely come back. The house was really clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable break.I'd recently had foot surgery, so accessibility was really important. The driveway right outside the front of the property made parking so easy, and being on a new estate meant everything was nice and level. The wide staircase was much easier to manage than expected, and we loved opening the patio doors onto the garden—it made the place feel really bright and gave us a lovely space to relax.Overall, it was a great place to stay, and we'd happily recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable place.

The house is lovely and very well equipped, an ideal base for the area, with off lead dog walking close by and Low Hauxley beach a five minute drive which our dog loved.. The house was fabulously clean and all newly decorated. One of the reasons we chose the house was for the onsite EV charger & this worked out well for us, easy to charge, more convenient & cheaper than public chargers. They even gave us a free charge on our last night (I reported a couple of minor issues after we left, including lack of a welcome pack) There were 3 of us, all adults plus our dog and the house was great for our family. It would be very snug in the living room with 5 adults so I’d say it is more of a family holiday home.I think the house would benefit from a shower in the main bathroom, particularly for non family groups and some patio furniture to sit outside to eat. Overall I would recommend it and we had a lovely holiday.

We had a lovely time staying at Fulmar's Retreat. The house is well equipped for a family of 4 adults. Excellent communication with the house owners when we contacted them, the situation was resolved quickly and with care.
