Enjoyable weekend away
Lisa (host) was lovely and a pleasure to deal with. The house itself is lovely with all the amenities provided so didn’t need to bring anything apart from what you wanted to eat and clothes to wear - even had games which along with the basketball ring and trampoline kept the kids entertained . The small touches, like the welcome note, basket and bowls for pets just made the experience that little bit more special. Plenty of parking onsite (we had 4 cars and still room) Easy walk to the back beaches and the general store but is quite a walk to the front beach which is why rated 4 stars for location. Would definitely book again
