Everything you need is at hand. Only a 5min drive to seafront, and about the same to bowleaze. All in all, a great holiday, thank you.

The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped and a large secure garden. Everything we needed was available, the only thing I would recommend is a light for the back garden.
