Lots of room, airy and light. The kitchen had everything you need and beds were comfy.
Docking is central for easy access to a number of different beaches, all of which were beautiful.
An A road does run outside the cottage, but this didn’t disturb us as we slept in the back bedroom.
Great to have a totally safe and enclosed back garden for the dog.

Lovely big house, lots of space for all our family. It was beautifully furnished and accessorised and lovely garden for the dog. Very comfy, equipped with everything we might have needed.
The only downside for us was being right next to the main road. Although it was in a village this seemed to be a thoroughfare for heavy traffic from very early in the morning 5am till gone midnight. Wouldn't stop us visiting again though. The inside of the house far outweighed this.

Beautiful property with everything you could possibly need and more. One of the most comfortable properties we have ever stayed in. Finished to an extremely high standard and spotlessly clean. Had a wonderful week here.
