The owner, Suzanne, was so accommodating and lovely to deal with. The house is just beautiful, so thoughtfully decorated and a really wonderful use of space. It was a perfect location for us, our two young boys and our dog to explore the beaches from. We were even allowed to check out later on the Sunday as there were no other guests arriving that day. Very thoughtful and really appreciated!
