A spacious, well equipped property for twelve people with surrounding lawn for outdoor activities. The layout of rooms was maybe unusual but easily navigated! We had a very enjoyable holiday. Please do not place the following on public review, this is for owner and agent information only: The owner quickly arranged for mattress covers to be delivered when two beds were found to be uncomfortable due to springs. Several taps in bedroom sinks need some attention, and casing around pipes in one bedroom would lessen noise from flushing.

We had a great time at Tara. There were 9 of us across 3 generations and there was plenty of space to spread out as well as to come together in the lounge and dining room. The gardens were great for the younger members of the party to let off steam and all close enough to walk to the beach at Hope Cove. The property is REALLY well-equipped with lots of crockery, cutlery, glasses and kitchen equipment and enabled us to feel properly at home. Plus excellent wifi for those who needed it.

What an absolutely beautiful home with stunning views, we sat in the garden every evening watching the sun set and the millions of stars appear so relaxing ❤️ the property was clean and spacious. We all had an amazing stay here with 7 adults and 2 children it didn't feel full. Would stay again in a heart beat.The beaches were beautiful and clean with yummy ice creams and paddleboard hire., good for rock pooling and snorkeling too.
