Everything was great, the site is tidy, playground is new, location is well placed, has what you need and is well managed. The only thing I would say is it could do with a bath mat and some tea towels.

Great location

We had a 3 night stay in this lovely chalet which is in a great location. Just 5-10 minute walk to the beach where there is a pub serving food. The Sunday carvery is fantastic. The chalet has everything you need and communication with the owner is very good and informative. I will definitely stay again.

Lovely stay as always

Great stay at the chalet again but I do have to mention that the double bed is extremely uncomfortable and I spent the week with back pain due to this, a new mattress and a bigger / more comfortable sofa will do this chalet absolute wonders! None the less we will hopefully be back or use another one of the owners properties as our friend stayed in one on the same site :) very convenient location and lovely outdoor space.
