Excellent stay at Samphire’s. Really well geared for children and dogs. Located so close to the beach but also lots of other options not too far away by car. Highly recommended..

We stayed as two family's of 4 and one grandparent. The house easily accommodated us all and was a great stay with 2 minute walk to beach. Would definitely stay again

Superb cottage, very spacious and comfortable. Seems much bigger than it looks in the picture. Very well-equipped and with lots of space for a family or group (eg 2 baths, 3 loos, lots of parking). We really appreciated all the throws for sofas and beds for dogs. Also the garden really is fully enclosed. Very near the beach, just a few minutes walk down the street. We couldn't figure out how to load the high-sided plates into the dishwasher, perhaps we just didn't have the knack. However for us this really was an ideal cottage.
