Fantastic family stay

The house was so cosy and well equipped with everything that you could need. The deck and fireplaces were well used during our stay and it was only a short walk to the beach and for coffee. We were not aware that one of the bedrooms did not have a door on it which was disappointing but overall, a great place to stay with fantastic views.

Great getaway with ocean views

The accommodation had everything we required. As 4 x adult family members and a dog, we had plenty of separate open spaces for us to do our own thing or come together. The space is large, great kitchen and pantry and excellent views with short walk to beach, general store and pub.

A gorgeous place for a summer break

We loved our stay with several teenagers and our family dog. Beautiful house, so close to the beach and with incredible views. We spent much of our time on the glorious deck. When we had rainy days there were plenty of comfy spots to curl up. Would definitely recommend this property.

Wye Views

A typical 80s style beach house that has kept its kitsch touch, but with updated and modernised kitchen. Lovely touches and dog friendly our pooches and kids had an absolute blast. Perfect spot for a 4 day long weekend break with easy access to the beach without the killer hills other parts of Wye has… but oh and the views from that deck and waking up to the ocean - to die for! Million dollar views from the deck and bedrooms!

a couple of things to check: Only one of the bedside lights in the main bedroom worked. The lighting in the bathroom is poor. I have written about the stove top before. The jets at the back of the stover top do not work. Best Jan Street

A great spot in Wye

We had a lovely break here over the summer. The house is great for a family holiday. Only downside is that’s the house is close to the road. But this also means it’s close to the beach!

Wye river in winter

Good for families in warmer weather. House very cold but manager provided heaters and there was lots of wood to keep fire going. House is not the nice Grey as in picture but dull army brown! Only ensuite upstairs so other guests had to go downstairs to bathroom. If weather better would be great. Close to beach and pub.
