My husband and I took our daughter, husband and 3 grandchildren under 4 years old to this house for 10 nights. In addition another daughter stayed over for 1 night. It was ideal for our needs; spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The 2 utility areas were particularly helpful for cleaning beach equipment, toys and clothes! The house itself was situated in a quiet courtyard and safe for excited small children. It was also located near all amentities (mostly within 20 mins drive). It was near good supermarkets, an excellent variety of beaches, activities for children eg Sealife, Vurland farm and lovely villages, walks, gardens etc for adults. We found a range of excellent restaurants and cafes to suit all tastes and appetites; we paticularly love fresh fish and were not disappointed. The ownwe was very friendly and helpful. We can highly recommend this house and would be delighted to stay there again.

Nice house in a beautiful village.
Nice house in a beautiful village. We felt very welcome and the house had everything we needed. There are no shops in Puncknowle but there is a good pub and kids park. Will recommend to friends and family.
We were 4 adults with 2 children and a dog and there was plenty of space.
