Great house (space , facilities , beds, etc) in a good village (pubs, brewery tap, beach, cafes etc) . Was a good base for coastal walks with dog, although most beaches are no dog zones for 6 months of the yr. Also EV charger a bonus . Plenty of info from owner .No hassle would come again.

We had a very comfortable stay at the cottage. The owners are clearly working hard at updating the property, and it's in a fantastic location. Very good for young families.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 May, 2026
We're glad you appreciated the excellent location of Araul. Unfortunately the summerhouse had some external storm damage and hadn't been used over the Winter and we weren't aware that the weather had taken its toll on the inside too so that is now being addressed. Our cleaners can't do a full deep clean for each changeover and are usually very efficient with their cleaning. I am always happy to get them to revisit any areas guests are unhappy with if I am made aware of them.
