Nicky
The converted barn was amazing with a very comfortable bed and a lot of thought had gone into the little extras such as a night light/torch next to the bed. The barn was spotless and the biscuits and wine very appreciated. This is an ideal retreat not far from some great beaches. Thank you both! Dave and Nicky

For a 1 bed holiday apartment it was huge. Large bedroom down stairs with a comfortable bed and plenty of storage.A utility room with washing machine and good size bathroom are also downstairs with a decent shower. Upstairs is the living area with kitchen section, including dishwasher. Open beam ceilings and good views. All in all, all very comfortable and would definitely stay there again if holidaying in the area. Outside is a communal garden seating area
