The house was clean and tidy. Only issues were with the two bathrooms shared by the 3 bedrooms. The one with the shower had a faulty lock which came apart, the one with the bath had no lock on it. Apart from this we had a very enjoyable break
Trevor
Places to all be together and space to get quiet time . Cosy and furnishings not too new so good for young children. Many extras provided. Well situated for a variety of places to visit . We have stayed twice and would highly recommend.

Beds are comfortable, lots of space for clothes. Kitchen has a nice pantry to store your food and has a small additional fridge which we used for drinks. Garden is great, the kids played football and games everyday outside. Location is perfect, beach is 15min away! WiFi is very patchy, but the owners do warn you of that! The farm shop at the end of the road is amazing, worth a visit!
