Perfect location!! The place was huge and had everything we needed for a much needed family weekend away with our dogs. We had sun and surf during the day, and with the colder nights the fireplace was a game changer. We loved it. Thank you!!

Absolutely brilliant place with all the bits and pieces needed or not to have a relaxing stay, including bits and pieces in the pantry and fridge and freezer! (Thanks) we nearly finished the 1,000 piece Castlepoint Jigsaw maybe 1 more day would have seen it done, but walks and swims (and of course fish and chips from the local store) got in the way. Highly recommended unless your booking conflicts with our return to this beautiful, relaxing/exhilarating location!!!!
