Relaxing beach break

We really enjoyed a few days away from hectic, stressful lives and we couldn't have picked a better place! The beach is close, a dairy even closer. There were books, table tennis and lovely outdoor spaces for chilling. The beds were comfortable and the house was perfectly presented. We'll be back.
