Lovely seaside retreat

We had a lovely late-summer stay here with our young son and my parents. It was ideal for us - very spacious and well-situated, with a very nice garden too. We even enjoyed plenty of apples fresh from the trees. Highly recommended.

Can’t keep away

Just back from a wonderful week away at this fabulous property. Third stay here now and I’d thoroughly recommend the property and location. We were blessed with wonderful weather which enabled good use of the bbq available in the garden along with eating outside making good use of the large garden table. Beach is literally a three minute walk away. Great sun loungers in the garden which helped us relax looking out for shooting stars which we saw many of. Such a cosy and comfortable house which always leads to a wonderful holiday.
