This house really suits my family. It's the third time we have stayed here!
Enough space for people to find some peace if they want it and a lovely dining space for family meals and activities.
The location is excellent, wetsuits on and cross the rd and you are in the sea, or pack up the Kubb (excellent beach game) and draw a court on the beach for an evening match! In previous years we have seen whales, dophins and seals from the beach. Nothing this year but the bay window is great for beach watching.
Hopefully we'll be back next year!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that your family enjoys the house and the space it offers for both relaxation and fun activities. It’s fantastic that you’re able to take full advantage of the location, and we’re sorry to hear there were no whale, dolphin, or seal sightings this year, though the bay window sounds like a great spot for beach watching! We’d love to welcome you back next year—looking forward to your fourth stay!
