We stayed here for Christmas and it was lovely. The house was very clean and with plenty of space for all of us. Despite being located very close to a caravan park, it was very quiet and just a short walk to fab local pub. Val and Bev were great hosts and even left us a lovely welcome gift. A wonderful property to stay in and we would all highly recommend it.

Perfect Get Away
A lovely well equipped house in a perfect location. It has everything you need for a large group holiday. All the upstairs bedrooms are large and really clean and comfy. The family games room is perfecting for all sitting in together and the pool table is a fab addition. The dining room is brilliant for family meals and with the weather being so fab this Easter we were able to enjoy the lovely garden. Can not fault anything just wish we could of stayed longer.
