Location is also fantastic, less than a 10 minute walk to the beach (although it is a very steep hill!).

A fabulous property in a brilliant location. Extremely spacious, very comfortable with good facilities. It's been 2 years since we last visited and there are a few minor issues, the top shelf in the fridge is broken and falls out easily, a couple of things missing from both bathrooms where there are just fixings on the wall, shower in main bathroom won't stay high on the pole and just slides down, window by front door still not fixed in 2 years but at least there's a notice saying not to use it! As I said, just minor issues but thought I'd mention them. We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely be back. Thanks

It was very quiet and relaxing and plenty to see and do. The only thing we couldnât do was work out how to turn the heating down as at times it got a little too hot in the lodge but apart from that everything was perfect. Will definetly book again during summer months and have a bbq in the beautiful outdoor space. Thank you again for a wonderful few days away
