The bedrooms are well planned for mix of quiet and not so quiet or young and not so young! Well equipped kitchen, great selection of books, comfy garden furniture. Pizza oven. Suited everyone with a huge age range! Your service is first class. We had a minor hitch which was dealt with straight away

The house is wonderful, well equipped for a large family get together with lots of space both indoors and out . Two dishwashers and an extremely well equipped kitchen makes catering for a large group much more practical. We were honoured that the owners trusted us with their collection of books which was so interesting, particularly the guest books from old. A added bonus was having a separate sitting room for the kids with lots of games and a table tennis and small pool table . The kids were on the beach at 7.15am exploring rock pools and playing in the sand . In fact they were outside most of the time which was great . We had super weather and were treated to an incredible light show from the Aurora on our final night . A few torches would be great , otherwise perfect .can we come back please .
