Thank you for staying with us and for your lovely review, we’re pleased you enjoyed the convenient location and spacious property, and we’d love to welcome you back again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cowrie House, everything was as described in the listing. Tidy and nearly everything you need for a weekend away! The location is great. So close to the beach and easy to get to shops for supplies and coffee etc. Communication from the hosts was also great, definitely would recommend.
We enjoyed our stay at the house. It was in a great location and allowed us to walk everywhere. The fridge was not very big given the amount of people the house accomodates.
