There was thought given to children visiting and safety requirements and our 5- and 2-year olds loved their lower bunk beds. The garden at the rear was secure for both dogs and children. Bowls etc were there for the dogs and plastic plates and bowls, as well as some toys and books, for the children. This was a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby towns. The house was very warm but we were able to adjust rooms to our preferences quite easily, as instructions were left. We would recommend this property to anyone.

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. :)
