This is such a great place for a beach getaway with the dogs. It was a windy few days and there was no one in sight at the beach which was minutes away from the house. A very quiet and peaceful location. Everything was incredibly comfy and clean and my two very small dogs almost disappeared in the extra large garden. Highly recommended.
