Itâs in a lovely area, with great dog friendly beaches and pubs. The on-site pub has had some negative reviews, but we gave it another try and was surprisingly pleased, best itâs been since pre Covid. Itâs a Shame the on-site pizza place is never open, we wish it would go back to a cafe. The on-site shop has everything you need at reasonable prices. We didnât have a free swim or use the gym this time. The cottage is a great place to kick back and relax, which is what this week was all about. The cottage is so lovely, comfortable and clean, itâs a great place to rewind and chill out. Not sure why the sofa was making mechanical groaning noises, but it still seemed comfortable!!! Maybe itâs a sofa bed? It wasnât really BBQ weather so we didnât use it on this occasion. The patio table and chairs are wooden and the chairs arenât the most comfortable for relaxing on, they probably need an upgrade(although perfectly stable- just uncomfortable). So we sat several times reading in the master bedroom on two lovely clear plastic chairs with the Juliet Balcony doors open soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the breeze. There was a little welcome pack, with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits and a tennis ball for the dog, those are the simple things that make you smile when you arrive so another big thank you to Sharon and Pete. Weâll be booking again.
