Big family get together to celebrate my husband’s birthday. All the children and partners and all the 5 grandchildren. Great venue and great service. Thoroughly recommend this property.

House was excellent, the scenery was amazing and even the sun shone for us. The local pub provided a delicious roast and the local playground was a hit with the younger members of the family.

Our second visit - and I hope there are many more. We knew our way round better this time. Inside it's spacious and clean, you don't need to go outside to enjoy your holiday - but if you do, the views are glorious in whichever direction you look. It's quiet, calm and so relaxing - and the beach is not far away. Lovely walks, superb tea room - and the cows were in the field right next to us and were waiting to greet us every morning. You can hear the bird song, the church bells - and not much else. A large enclosed garden for the dogs - a real chill out break, just what the doctor ordered!
