It is very family friendly and has an enclosed sunny garden which we all enjoyed. All information provided was useful including ideas for walks, beaches and pubs. The location, within walking distance of fantastic beaches, is great and the house is very well equipped. We had a really wonderful holiday. Thank you.

We try to get away with our dog every 3 months and book holiday homes all over UK. We have an anxious rescue dog, so deliberately choose detached properties in quiet areas so he can relax as well as us. He hardly barked all week and thoroughly enjoyed the enclosed garden. This time, there was plenty of room to invite our grown up kids and their partners too. We rarely find a property that is so spacious, has fantastic views, secure garden south facing garden, walking distance to the beach and excellent pub around the corner - thatâs served really good food daily. The house has a fully equipped kitchen, with plenty of crockery and cutlery for cooking at home as well. Sian, the homeowner provided us with excellent information and recommendations of where to visit a month before we left, which was really helpful. There is no local shop in the village, but we knew to be prepared and bring food essentials with us.
