Furnished to high spec. Bedding and towels top quality and bathroom warm and cosy with fabulous shower. Lovely welcome from owners who even provided treats for our dog. The area was very rural with views to the sea and amazing sunsets. Great dog walking and close to the pub what more could we want? Thank you- highly recommended.

The accommodation is beautiful, and spotlessly clean, it feels nice and luxurious. We enjoyed BBQâs outside and took in the view of the sunset and sea. Phillipa and Glynn really care about their guests often offering us recommendations for trips out, we had some great days out enjoying the beautiful beaches and local museum. Our children had so much fun. We were blessed with some good weather but it would be equally cosy in the winter with the log burner, on-site cafe and lovely pub 5 minutes away.
Wayne
The hosts are exceptionally helpful, providing their contact details in case you need anything. The property is impeccably maintained, with everything you could need, including an outdoor gas BBQ. The photos and description perfectly match what you get. We were absolutely thrilled with our stay and are definitely planning to rebook for both a winter and summer break soon. Thank you for an amazing 4-day stay!"
