Perfect spot for a low key weekend break

This bach had everything we needed, and was a lovely spot for a weekend break. Close to the beach, near the local Foursquare (with a great tip from Barb that there are fresh croissants and bread!) with a great garden and home to unwind in. Thanks for an awesome stay!

A Perfect Spot for Humans and Dogs!

We spent 12 days here with our dogs. It was just perfect. Close to beach and forest and the neighbours were all so friendly. Made us feel like we were one of the locals. The place is set up so well and soooo happy to have a fan in our room as it was an exceptionally hot couple of weeks weather wise. We loved this place and our dogs really had a great time and we will come again. Thank you Barb and Sam you’re great hosts! A++

Great stay

Thank you for a great stay. The weather wasn't great, but we've enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and warm at arrival. Clean and tidy and a quiet neighborhood. About a 5 - 7 minute walk to the beach... Taling our dog which was a bonus.

Ideal for our needs

Nice easy stay. Spacious welcoming living area, big enough for our party of 4 adults to relax in. We arrived in the dark so the detailed directions were much appreciated and it was lovely to find the heater already on and the house cosy and warm for us. Great location.
