We were a party of 14 and each and every one of us had an amazing time. The dogs enjoyed a walk on the beach each morning and we spent many an hour in the sun on the beach as a family.

We enjoyed our stay at The Beach House, 3 floors of happiness.Lots of space for a large family with dogs 4 of them who equally loved the beach and had a lovely holiday.The locals are really friendly especially Mawson’s Ice Cream Parlour well worth a visit everyday.Lots to see and do locally Muncaster Castle has fabulous views and the gardens are amazing. There is also the Bird of Prey Centre which is well worth a visit.We would come back again the house was very well located and suited us perfectly.
