Fantastic location just across from the beach and the house was great for a big family group. We had wifi issues but otherwise was great and would be happy to recommend.

Stayed at this property for Easter 2026 break. A group of 5 family members. The property is extremely large and could easily accomodate up to 10 people. The house was in excellent condition and had a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The fact that there is a separate unit with 2 of the bedrooms and a lounge area and kitchen was a huge bonus. Lounge and dining area in the main house is large and very comfortable. We did not cook meals whilst we were there but the kitchen is very well equipped if you prefer self-catering. The location is outstanding, being directly across the road from the beach and easily walkable to supermarket and the many local resturants. A handbook was also provided explaining features of the house etc. This was very handy. I would highly recommend this property for large family groups and would definetly stay at this property again
