Lovely family batch and we enjoyed the log burner, morning sun in the front and afternoon sun on the back deck. Lots of games, puzzles and books to enjoy. Had a really relaxing stay with our family.

We had a lovely long weekend in the bach. The weather was a bit chilly but the fireplace was lovely and kept us toasty warm. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed, the lounge had a good selection of "holiday" reads and the queen bed was really comfortable. The sea wasn't far away so we enjoyed several walks on the beach and generally enjoyed the peace and quiet. Thanks.
