The kitchen was great with an air fryer,.oven, hob and full range of cooking implements. Plenty of space for 2 families without feeling on top of each other. Hosts were really helpful, all instructions clear. Garden was lovely and enclosed which was great for kids and dog. Perfect location for exploring the beautiful coastline - we're hoping to come back next year!!

This house has a lovely feel to it and it's history is very intriguing. You feel like you are miles out in the country but you are only five minuites drive from at least four big supermarkets and a beautiful town. Would highly recommend and consider returning next year. :)

We had a really relaxing week. The house is conveniently located near to shops but far enough out to enjoy the peace and quiet and lovely countryside views. It's 10 minutes in the car to a beautiful beach and ideal for those who want to tour the many other attractions in the area. The owners were lovely and extremely helpful. We'll definitely be recommending this property and hopefully be back soon.
