Relaxing Getaway

Peaceful 2 storey cottage with lovely entertaining area out the back including BBQ and firepit. Best of all only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Cottage itself came with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Owners John and Irene were very friendly and welcoming. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Would highly recommend this beautiful getaway

Great location for fit people with dogs

A lovely property, in a lovely location, but not really suitable for us. We are elderly and the toilet was up steep stairs. The outdoor area is lovely and ideal for dogs.

Great little place!

Nice little property. We booked a single night as a last-minute school holiday getaway but this would be perfect for a longer stay. Quiet, clean and tidy, plenty of space indoors and out for the three of us, and close to the beach. We'll be back!

Late summer break

Irene & John’s property was perfect for us. Only a minute from the beach, it had ample parking and great living spaces both inside and outside. A lovely retreat for a couple. Our hosts were very welcoming & friendly & even had fresh produce from their garden for us to enjoy. Thank you!

Relaxing getaway close to beach

We would like to thank John and Irene for once again providing excellent accommodation for our stay. It was our 2nd stay at this premises and we and our 2 dogs enjoyed your hospitality immensely and we will be back again. If you are a couple with a dog or 2 and looking for a quiet, no fuss, comfortable accommodation only minutes from the beach and to town then this is the place. Many thanks, Bill and Manda with Terry and Duke.
