Enjoyed staying in this very comfortable, clean and quiet property with our cat. There was everything you need and more. It is in a lovely private setting, and only a couple of minutes or so walk to the beach.
Great house for a family stay, but dog owners should be wary. Despite the fenced yard, the neighbors were hyper sensitive; they complained about barking after a few minutes. We ended up having to take the dog everywhere with us to avoid further issues, which really ruined the 'relaxing' vibe of the holiday.
We absolutely loved staying here. The house was clean, well maintained and has everything you could possibly need. The photos online did not do it justice.

Thankyou for being great guests and leaving the place clean and tidy.....welcome back anytime.
This was a great location, an easy walk to be beach!The house was very tidy, well fenced for the dogs and exactly what we were after.Really enjoyed relaxing on the back deck.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It had everything we needed to enjoy a few days near the beach as a family. The owners provided great instructions and were friendly and available as needed. Would definitely return next time we are in the area.
We had a lovely stay at this property in May. Loads of space, comfortable and loved the fire place which made the stay nice and cosy. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of space for him to run around. Thank you.
Lovely spot, very peaceful and a very short walk to the beach. Lots of games and books left in the house so plenty for the kids to play with. Recommended

We stayed at Richards and Keitha,s house it was a joy to stay there
Roomy nicely laid out and the garden was a great place to relax and see the night out
Would stay there again in a heartbeat
The welcoming treats were greatly appreciated
This is our third time of staying here. We found everything the way it was last clean and well presented. We were pleased that we were able to bring our dog who enjoyed the garden and the proximity to the beach. One criticism I would make is the getting in and out of the shower it really needs a handle or something to hang on to especially for people like us who are over 80
Absolutely delightful cottage and I would thoroughly recommend. As others have said the pictures don't do it justice. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking equipment, beds are super comfortable, there's a bath, a wood burner (that was very thoughtfully already made up for us to light, perfect on a rainy day), books, games, the beach is a short walk away. We had a lovely time, and I would return.
We had the most amazing stay at this Bach, excellent in all areas and the Christmas tree was such thoughtful touch. Thank you Richard for letting us stay at your property, it really felt like home for the 5 days, I have already recommended it to all my friends.

Thanks Ciara, glad you enjoyed it and for being great guests. Also, thankyou for leaving the house and property clean and tidy on leaving…….hardly knew your group had been there. Welcome back anytime.
We really enjoyed our time as the house is secure and has everything you would need. We would like to note that we found the linen and bedding to be amazingly comfortable. :D
