What a lovely, cared for and comfortable house to stay in. The house itself is extremely restful and is clearly a well loved family home. Nice touches everywhere. The rooms are large and inviting and the beds were very comfortable. We all loved the balcony room with its fantastic views. The facilities are great, everything you could possibly need is there. We love the house and its large garden and will come back. A perfect place to be: close to the cafe and play park; alongside the coastal path and very close to the beach.
