The slab edging to the driveway needs reattaching in places as some slabs are missing or loose. Though, overall we really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back.

The house is very well-equipped and spacious, with a lovely big garden which the children particularly enjoyed. The location is great, with a choice of beautiful beaches nearby and the village pub with excellent food right next door. We hope to be back!
