We had the most amazing time at Ingleside, it is perfect! The location is amazing, the beach is on the back doorstep and the village is lovely and quiet. We enjoyed watching all of the local wildlife and enjoyed walking on the beach every morning. The property is lovely, with stunning views and perfectly equipped, there is everything you'd need for a great holiday. The beds are amazing too! We all commented that we'd love to take them home! We all said that we would love to revisit as we enjoyed it so much. Caroline was a lovely host and keeps the garden beautifully.
