The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Everything you needed was provided. Beds comfortable. Lots of games, books to choose from. The youngsters loved the games room. The area was perfectly situated for coastal walks. Lucky enough to see a seal with her pup! Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you for a perfect stay.

The house was great for us all and our two dogs, but there was one small niggle: the cot that was promised turned out to be a travel cot (which we could have brought ourselves) which was uncomfortable for the two-year-old as there was no mattress. His mother was also concerned about the stair gate at the bottom of the stairs which was rather unstable. Other than that, everything else worked perfectly. We would love to return one day.
