We were incredibly happy with the hit tub which we made use of every day really. The different living spaces allowed us to spread out when we wanted and also come together in the large main living room when we wanted. The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen had pretty much all we needed. We enjoyed the place so much that we have already booked again for next year.

House was wonderful. We all loved the lay out. A couple of moans about uncomfortable beds but owner is already informed. Hot tub in its space especially, was a massive hit for our group. BBQ area also in perfect space and we did use it. Plenty of tables and chairs for all to sit upon. Bathrooms were welcomed and described to a T. Bedrooms all as described with fresh bedding. Towels were also provided. Kitchen area is the hub of the house. We were able to cook everything in 2 sitings. All amenities as described. Our group had a great time. We always find it hard to get together as a family but staying here solved our problem. Thank you so much, I am already considering other dates to come back. Anji xx

The views were spectacular from the property, and the beaches - readily awaiting our doggy walks - were just a 10 minute drive away. The house was very spacious and easily accommodated the eight of us comfortably without ever feeling cramped or that we were on top of each other. Most of our little maintenance niggles were dealt with both swiftly and efficiently; the owner of the property rapidly responded to our messages and sorted things out very quickly. This was much appreciated, thank you. Overall, we had a wonderful time.
