you can walk to the beach and a co-op is not far with the main supermarkets a short drive. for those less able to walk there is a nice stretch of grass that is useful for getting some exercise. The kitchen is well-equipped. One thing that deserves a mention is the beds, I can only comment on the single bed I used but it's the best bed I have ever slept on and the feather duvet was great. The same comment was used for one of the doubles. The owner contacted me before the holiday to wish us a good holiday which was very nice as I have never had that before.

It was light and bright with cosy comfy beds. Spotlessly clean. Lovely sun room/porch, great place for breakfast. Absolutely everything was perfect. The view of the sea was beautiful, especially at sunset. I would recommend this lovely peaceful place to everyone.

The location was lovely and peaceful with easy stair access to the beautiful natural beach and nature reserve. The kids loved going off exploring in a safe area. The house was just right for 6 of us to stay in with our scatty dog. I also have to say the owner was especially lovely contacting us before we set off to see if their was anything we needed and that we knew how to work everything in the house. I really couldn't recommend this place more for a family holiday. Just brilliant
