Just returned from a lovely week staying at Reuben’s, which felt like home from the moment we walked in as it had everything you needed and more. Very spacious and comfortable house especially the beds so had a great nights sleep. The table tennis also made for a great family tournament of an evening. Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back and stay again soon.

Reuben’s is a lovely house. Very well equipped. We struggled with the smart tv. The showers were wonderful. Loved the ping pong table. Lots of cob webs with been very much in the middle of no where.

Spacious, comfortable and well equipped, especially the kitchen. Perfect for our family gathering.Lovely owners, very helpful and informative and very quick to answer queries.Just one pub nearby that didn't open lunch times. Had a lovely meal early evening and brilliant service. Short drive to supermarkets, beaches and places of interest. The garden was completely secure for our two dachshunds.Thank you
