The cottage was lovely, clean and modern and with excellent equipment. The kitchen had every mod con you could require and it was all sparkling clean. Communication with the owner was simple and her instructions very clear. The Bay was lovely too - very cosy looking cottages, all nicely kept and smart. The only thing was, we were looking forward to a pizza takeaway but the pizza shop was closed - not sure why. Otherwise, an excellent place to stay.

Beautiful place to stay. The accommodation was clean, welcoming and comfortable. It was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The children were entertained on a rainy day with the games that were there. A nice quiet complex. Small pool, sauna, steam room and gym, which was good to use. Plenty of amenities on site and it was only a short drive to a bigger supermarket. The walk to the beach is very sloped, but a beautiful walk and the dogs loved it too.

Lovely cottage, clean, well equipped. The welcome pack was nice, but for me personally, I would have preferred not to have to rush out for bin bags, washing up liquid, dish wash tabs and loo rolls! The whole site is wonderful, clean, well placed and the facilities were so good. Access to the beach and the walks are quite amazing. We were bless with sunny weather which made the holiday. The pub food was very nice, great value.
