We had a lovely Easter weekend in the property with our family. Really spacious and comfortable. The garden was fantastic too. A good barbecue and outdoor table for eating. So relaxing. The children and dogs really appreciated the space too. So many things provided and lovely Easter decorations. The hosts were extremely accommodating and we would definitely anyone with a large family to go there. Good pubs and beaches not too far away.

Appreciated air fryer and plentiful supply of logs and general Christmassy decorations, 3 x Xmas trees and fresh flowers in many rooms. Also supplied were many general groceries, eg marmalade, salt, sugar, etc. A very comfortable place to stay for two families.
