Perfect spot for a low key weekend break

This bach had everything we needed, and was a lovely spot for a weekend break. Close to the beach, near the local Foursquare (with a great tip from Barb that there are fresh croissants and bread!) with a great garden and home to unwind in. Thanks for an awesome stay!

A Perfect Spot for Humans and Dogs!

We spent 12 days here with our dogs. It was just perfect. Close to beach and forest and the neighbours were all so friendly. Made us feel like we were one of the locals. The place is set up so well and soooo happy to have a fan in our room as it was an exceptionally hot couple of weeks weather wise. We loved this place and our dogs really had a great time and we will come again. Thank you Barb and Sam you’re great hosts! A++
