Very close to some great beaches. Itâs a home from home everything you need is there for a relaxing and comfortable break. Also dog friendly. A lovely place to go.

It was lovely sitting in the hot tub and looking at the wonderful views. We would not hesitate to stay here again, it's a little bit of heaven.

The good sized lounge/diner is linked to an excellent kitchen and the patio doors gave a view over fields to the sea. A well planned garden was accessed through the patio doors and was equipped with dining table, loungers and hot tub. A comfortable double bed was in a good sized room and the modern bathroom was spotless. We had the best welcome pack weâve had in holiday accommodation and the electric vehicle charging was a bonus (small extra charge and a 3 pin plug needed). The owners next door did not impose but were very helpful when needed. The accommodation made it a great holiday in an area with plenty to see and do.
