    5 adults 2 teens and 2 dogs plenty of room to be together and have your own space. Everything you need is here. Would definately recommend and will hopefully return next year. Close to beaches, shops and a good pub 10 minute drive... all dog friendly. Thank you so much for letting us stay.

    House was spotless and the welcome pack was very much appreciated! There were 7 of us, 5 adults and two small grandchildren - the kitchen worked so well for us to all be together and yet not under each others feet.. the house is very spacious and well laid out. As others have said, there are just a couple of things which would make this house even better and more comfortable - the wi-fi is very bad, some of us could not connect for the whole week. Also, we were blessed with amazing weather, but this made the upstairs bedrooms unbearably hot and so sleeping difficult - a few fans would maybe make a difference at little cost. We had a wonderful holiday though, thankyou.

    Home from home accommodation. We had a lovely peaceful holiday. The private secure garden was great for our dog. 10/10
