The property was so clean and everything you need from home to home to make your break perfect . The hot tub was lovely and the view of the castle made our holiday that extra special. We were gifted a lovely little welcome gift of milk eggs wine chocolate etc which was so kind of the host to do so . The host before hand gave us some nice tips on where to eat and places to visit and completely on hand if we needed any advice . I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for that bit of luxury by the sea. We will certainly be returning in future . Many thanks again for a fantastic break.

We stayed at this beautiful place over Christmas with my family, and it was absolutely perfect in every way. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. The property itself was not only stunning but also spotless, with every detail carefully considered. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The living spaces were cozy and beautifully decorated, creating the perfect setting for our family gatherings. You can truly tell that this home was designed and maintained with so much love and care. Every little touch from the thoughtful decor to the high-quality furnishings made our stay feel extra special. The host was absolutely wonderful. Communication started well in advance, and they were always incredibly responsive and helpful. They provided fantastic recommendations, which added even more to our experience. Itâs rare to find a property that exceeds expectations in every way, but this property did exactly that. We couldnât have asked for a better Christmas getaway, and weâve already started planning our next visit. If youâre considering booking this place donât hesitate. Itâs a true gem, and youâll leave with memories to cherish forever!
