What a great place for a large family such as ours. The rooms are spaced out nicely to give people a sense of "own time" and the setting of the house is exceptional. The outdoors was fantastic and just what we needed for our visit.The host was exceptional as well and communicated well with me. If we ever have a family thing in this area again, we will be back!

An exceptional home. Large with 4 bedrooms which met our needs, Well layed out and spotlessly clean. The home was the best appointed home with loads of plates, cutlery etc and great value for money. Planning to book again in March if available. A real credit to the owners!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this accommodation. From the beginning we had great communication from the owners, it was easy to arrange everything we needed. Access instructions were clear and it was an easy process to gain entry and get settled. The house is conviently located, comfortable with all ammenities and comfortable beds. We enjoyed the summer evenings with the windows open and the sound of the nearby beach. We highly recommend this property.
