The sofa and beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We didn't use the hot tub, so I can't comment on that. The house is in a really nice location and we were given access to the EV charger on the caravan site, making it a stress free week for us. I would definitely recommend staying at The stables.

The warden was very helpful getting us a couple of things that were missing from the kitchen. The real problem was the bathroom. The shower did not drain properly and needed pumping with the plunger (already supplied) every couple of days. There was nasty black mould around the shower, there was a small amount of water on the floor near the toilet which reappeared even after wiping up and the radiator did not work so the towels could not dry. This was all such a shame because the rest of the house was lovely and in a good location.

The location is ideal with a 5 minute walk to the beach, paddle board hire, restaurants and shops. There is plenty of car park space either side of the cottage. The conservatory was great for meal time and playing games. We enjoyed watching the wildlife in the field next door and watching the fly-bys. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day at the beach. The care taker checked the hot tub every 2 days. The bath robes and towels were a great extra for the hot tub. As the details do say there is only one bathroom downstairs and the main bedroom is upstairs. There is a rail on left side of the steeper than usual steps (only noticed as had a knee injury). We appreciated the ample storage in both bedrooms. We would have appreciated an outside shower to wash off sand prior entering cottage or hot tub. We had to use the kids' buckets to carry out water to the garden to wash off beach shoes and toys. Overall we had a fantastic time, with lovely views, quiet atmosphere and cosy cottage. Staff were friendly and quick to assist throughout our stay.
