    Plenty of room, kitchen well equipped with plenty of everything for our large multi-aged family. We brought extra high chairs and cots as only one at the property (our group included 3 toddlers). Maybe a larger pan would be helpful when cooking rice or pasta for such a large family. It is well situated with a local Sainsbury’s and co-op just 5 minutes walk away in the Village. Plenty to do in the area both beaches and places to visit. Would happily come again.

    Every bedroom and room in the house were beautifully decorated and very very comfy. For me it was the little touches that made it perfect, every en suite had a bottle of hand wash and enough loo roll for a week, there was bbq coals left for us, games for all ages, tea coffee salt and pepper even cereals to help ourselves too, even 2 kettles in the kitchen , the owners have thought of every to make our stay her perfect, thank you

    Unless it was our phones. Some larger pans would be good as boiling potatoes for 15 took most of the available pans other than that it was a perfect location for shops and things to do and see.
