A very clean and comfortable house. It is perfect for dogs as the garden is safe and secure. The welcome supplies were the best weve ever had in a holiday home. It is ideal for families with there being so much space and a bonus of a ground floor bedroom.

Beautifully clean, well equipped house, with lots of space, lovely views and convenient for both town and beach. The only issue for us was the single access to the garden via the downstairs bedroom, which in the wet week we had, meant dog paws everywhere, plus no way of not waking the person in the downstairs room if dog wanted out in the small houRead morers. Dogs are not allowed upstairs either, so for us, this combination meant the house was not dog friendly. Otherwise, highly recommended. Hide
