The owner was there to greet us in the dark, so warm, friendly and welcoming. The property was lovely and cosy and everything as described. After a walk by the coast, it was lovely to sit by the fire in the Livingroom. We had a lovely stay with our two older teen boys, plenty of space for our tall family to spread out. Loved the big bath and spacious shower. Beds are so comfy with lovely cotton, soft bedding. A well equipped kitchen with everything we required and cupboards left empty so space for our food - Thank you...
