Weather was not good & it would have been better if we could have been able to put heating on in evening - but we couldn't. Also the instructions for working the cooker were not in any order.

Tucked away in a quiet area but main roads easily accessible making it a great location for visiting places on both the north and south coast. Lots of space for 4, extremely clean , great showers and the kitchen has everything you could need. Would definitely return.
