    The gardens are also well maintained and a pleasure to use. It is a house I would very happily return to.

  • Carole

    The house was very comfortable and well equipped and ideally situated for both the beach and the shops. The owners had made it very welcoming by leaving on lights and a basket of goodies and items in the fridge that had been very thoughtfully chosen which meant that we could have a cuppa while we settled in without having to worry about rushing to the shops. Thank you for making it a thoroughly good experience.

  • Vicki

    The extra little touches make all the difference and the owners had certainly thought of everything. The welcome hamper was very thoughtful. We were a group of 8, two families with young children, and the house was perfect! Glynis was lovely to deal with and called a couple of days before to explain things. We would definitely recommend and will hopefully be going back.
