The bungalow is very smart and all the fittings are modern and in good order . The garden is perfect for dogs and people alike . More than enough room for 4 people . There were maybe bits I could comment on but only trivial stuff . I would not hesitate to stay there again- thank you owners you have made a real effort for your guests .

The sofas have been upgraded since the photos - there are now 2 2 seater leather recliners which are extremely comfortable. There are lots of thoughtful touches, as well little extras for our dog which was great. A real home away from home. A great location for the beach and local places to eat. We had a great stay and would highly recommend

Also a nice, unexpected touch was the provision of tea bags and fresh milk. Great location just a short walk through a caravan park to the beach.
