Lovely place for an extendeded family holiday. Unbeatable views, nature and privacy. Great beach with seafood on the doorstep. House was well equipped for kids and adults with plenty of space and different areas to hang out or get together.

Absolutely excellent property for our needs. So much space and the table tennis table and pool table were used by all of us daily! We were visiting friends in Linkwater so perfect location. View from the deck is incredible, perfect place to sit and have breakfast.
