Absolutely brilliant place, perfect location for exploring the beaches and made all the better by Judith and Paul, who are so friendly and helpful and incredibly generous letting us walk the dogs on their land. Fabulous amenities, great size for us and 2 dogs, who loved the garden and being able to pop out for a short walk after an explore of the beaches. Perfect getaway and incredible value for money! Loved it!
