The location was excellent, close to the beach but still remote. Very private and great for dogs with good recall.

Loved the old school ambience and peace and quiet. The bonus was the wood delivered for an evening fire under the walnut trees.

A lovely little spot, ideal for a break, away from the modern world, to chill and get away from it all. No WiFi and can't phone reception, meaning you have to make your own entertainment - no doom scrolling here!Cooking on the open fire was fun, but the place could maybe do with a bit more in the way of kitchen facilities. But we stayed for 5 days and managed fine, and really enjoyed our stay.
